I have played with them before, but I haven't properly tried them for this. I can see it solves half the problem (being able to open something twice). But there's still a lot left to be solved:
1. I need to check out ~8 branches
2. I then need to reinstall all dependencies for those branches.
3. I then need to run those branches locally on a different set of ports to my standard dev environment to avoid clashes (or shutdown my main one temporarily)
4. If it involves the mobile app I may need to wait some time for a clean build
It's a lot of administrative overhead compared to what I tend to default to in most cases which is just merge the branch after reading through it and then test in our staging environment once CI has run.
