Not quite, Gitbutler allows you to apply multiple branches to the code base at once. With codebases you will have multiple code bases not one.

for example: It allows me to test coworkers branches with mine without merging or creating new branch.

It has many features that makes it super easy to add patch to any commit in any branch

Gitbutler is backed by git. Gitbutler is essentially just ui for git which also allows you to have multiple branches. It isn't meant to replace git.
