Author here.
I have all my Git workspaces in Google Drive, but that's a hack, because I'm using two cloud systems (BitBucket and Drive) together. It would be like editing some Word documents by keeping the intermediate versions in Dropbox but the result in Google Drive.

Not for uncommitted changes. Like edits in Google Docs. Being able to go back lets me freely modify the code to try out something else knowing I can easily go back. Without making intermediate commits, branches, a second workspace, or other overhead.

Actually it's solvable, by having different workspaces instead of branches when I want to try out two different approaches to see which one works better.
Thanks for suggesting worktrees, but given Git's complexity and poor UX, I try not to get too fancy :) But you're right that does work instantly. I'd like instant performance + easy UX.
