At least these two possibilities to consider :
1) Clone your repo. Work on one repo, let the other one run your program. It seems the most straightforward way to go from what you describe.
2) Maybe look at git worktree
It allows you to check out multiple branches at once, in separate directories.
Your program could run on a version from branch A, while you work on branch B checked out on your second worktree.
