Git Worktrees

Overview

Git worktrees create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository, allowing work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching. Each worktree is a separate directory with its own working tree, but they share the same .git history.

When to Use Worktrees

  • Parallel development: Work on feature A while feature B builds/tests
  • Code review: Check out PR branch without disrupting current work
  • Experiments: Try something risky without affecting main workspace
  • Long-running tasks: Keep main branch available while feature develops
