FAQPage Schema
How do I compare files between git worktrees?▼

Comparing files between git worktrees involves running directory diffs across detected worktrees. This process identifies file differences and provides summary statistics for added, deleted, and modified files.

What is the best way to compare code across git branches before merging?▼

Comparing code across git branches is best done using `git diff` to identify changes. This approach provides a concise overview of modifications, additions, and deletions before you merge a feature branch into the main branch.

Can I get summary statistics of modified files when comparing git branches?▼

You can get summary statistics of modified files when comparing git branches. The comparison evaluates differences and outputs a concise overview detailing added, deleted, and modified files.

Does the git worktree comparison support interactive selection of comparison targets?▼

Yes, git worktree comparison supports interactive selection of comparison targets. This allows you to dynamically choose which worktrees or branches to compare rather than being limited to predefined comparison scopes.

Do I need to manually specify paths to compare directories between git worktrees?▼

You do not need to manually specify paths to compare directories between git worktrees. The process utilizes `git worktree list` for automatic worktree detection and allows interactive selection of comparison targets.
