Is it possible to view multiple git branches at the same time for the same project?

I have 2 branches, which are not ready to be merged yet, but have some complementary logic, which I'd like to review (before merging)

Can I check out multiple git branches of the same project? Is it possible?

git branch git-checkout

Yes it is possible with appropriate care. However you are taking one of the copies 'away' from the regular git directory using --work-tree=<path> option, so changes there won't be seen by git unless you specially tell it. I gave an example here single-working-branch-with-git - see the UPDATED segment.

Note that the git-new-workdir doesn't work on Windows XP as it requires Unix style links.
