There are several directories, ordered by the date of creation, which are a copy of the original source code, copies made every day after generating changes, that is, the original source code resides in the DIR1 directory, a copy is made with name dir2, and changes are made to the source code of the project. The next day, a copy of the directory of name DIR2 is made and renamed DIR3, we work with this directory making changes to the source code. The same process is carried out for two weeks.

I'm not sure I fully grasp the problem, especially around why these
copies are made in such a way.
But, have you looked at 'git-worktree'? This would allow you to do
something like
$ cd dir1
$ git worktree add -b branch2 ../dir2
Once done with dir2, you can remove the worktree
$ git worktree remove ../dir2
But the branch ('branch2') would still remain and you can merge the
branch as needed.
I hope that helps
