Workflow with git worktree with a bare repo

[jfvillablanca]

Hello everyone,
I am testing out a new workflow where I would use git worktrees instead of git stashes.
I am fairly new to git worktree so please bear with me if I miss out on something.

This is how I intend to organize new projects:

my-awesome-project/
├── .bare/
├── .git
├── bugfix/
├── feature-branch/
└── main/

my-awesome-project/ has three branches: bugfix, feature-branch, and main.

With this organization, .bare/ contains the bare repo (cloned from remote) and .git just points to .bare/.

Contents of .bare/ is essentially:

.bare
├── branches
├── config
├── description
├── HEAD
├── hooks
├── info
├── logs
├── objects
├── packed-refs
├── refs
└── worktrees

Contents of .git

gitdir: ./.bare

Now to my question:
Since the two branches are on different folders, GitUI throws me an error if I try to checkout to another branch

Is there a way to configure GitUI or .gitconfig to work around this error?
Checking out to another branch is basically cd-ing to another folder but, if it's possible to not leave Neovim, that would be awesome.

If you have suggestions/ideas to improve this kind of workflow, I'm all ears :)

Note:

An nvim plugin exists for git worktree on bare repos: git-worktree.nvim
I tried it, but I wanted to use GitUI as much as possible.
