If you are using Git version 2.24 or newer you can also use the command: git switch <NAME-OF-OTHER-BRANCH>

Can I have different branches checked out in different local repositories?

Yes, this is supported. If you prefer to have one local repository per issue you are working on, then you would have a local repository and a local branch per issue you are working on. For example:

$ git clone https://github.com/<USERNAME>/jdk JDK-8123456
$ cd JDK-8123456
$ git checkout -b JDK-8123456

To create the first local repository representing the work on issue JDK-8123456. To create a second local repository for JDK-8654321, run:

$ git clone https://github.com/<USERNAME>/jdk JDK-8654321
$ cd JDK-8654321
$ git checkout -b JDK-8654321
