So how is this different from git worktrees exactly ?

there is no difference as jj is only a frontend to git.

author me tions that git cli require multiple steps when there are unstaged changes.

I don't know if git has one liner cli command for it as i myself use gitextn to create worktrees

That's not really true in this case, as the worktree feature from jujutsu is not implemented on top of git worktrees.

This is kind of unfortunate in this case as it breaks some tooling since the extra trees are not collocated with git, like editor inline history/blame or agents that know to look in git history to fix their mistakes

The fix for having worktrees be colocated is in progress. Not sure when it’ll be done but it’s coming.
