FAQPage Schema
How do I isolate my git branch work to keep the main checkout clean?▼

To isolate branch work and keep the main checkout clean, you can use a git worktree. This approach creates a separate working directory linked to your repository, allowing you to switch branches without affecting the main checkout state.

What is the best way to review a PR without disturbing my current git checkout?▼

The best way to review a PR without disturbing your current checkout is by using an isolated git worktree. This allows you to fetch and review the PR changes in a separate directory while your main checkout remains completely undisturbed.

How do I create and manage separate git worktrees for different branches?▼

You can create and manage separate git worktrees by using native worktree tools or falling back to plain git commands. This setup supports operations like listing, removing, and switching between isolated worktrees for different branches.

Does this worktree isolation method work without native harness tools?▼

Yes, worktree isolation works without native harness tools by falling back to plain git commands. If the directory is already a linked worktree, it is automatically detected, ensuring the isolation mechanism functions regardless of the environment.

When do I need to use an isolated git worktree instead of a standard branch switch?▼

You need an isolated git worktree when you want to work on separate branches simultaneously without affecting the main checkout. This is particularly useful for code review or context switching, ensuring your main checkout stays clean and stable.
