description	Switch or create a gctree gc-branch.

gctree Checkout

Use this when the user wants to separate global context for different products, clients, companies, or work modes.

Procedure

• gctree checkout <branch> switches to an existing gc-branch.
• gctree checkout -b <branch> creates a new empty gc-branch and switches to it.
• After checkout, run gctree status so the user can see which gc-branch is active.

Notes

• In user-facing language, call these gc-branches so they are not confused with git branches.
• Keep gc-branch switching explicit so different products do not bleed into each other.
