Worktrees

# Create a worktree for a feature branch (avoids stashing)
git worktree add ../feature-auth feature/auth

# Create a worktree with a new branch
git worktree add ../hotfix-123 -b hotfix/123 origin/main

# List all worktrees
git worktree list

# Remove a worktree after merging
git worktree remove ../feature-auth

Worktrees let you work on multiple branches simultaneously without stashing or committing WIP. Each worktree has its own working directory but shares the same .git repository.
