git:compare-worktrees

To compare files between git worktrees, you can use a tool that discovers local worktrees via git worktree list and outputs unified diffs. This allows you to review code differences across branches without juggling multiple repository copies.

The best way to review code changes in a separate worktree is to compare the specific file or directory paths against your current branch. This produces unified diffs or summary statistics to validate behavior before merging.

Yes, you can generate diff summary statistics for an entire directory across git worktrees. By comparing directory paths between worktrees, the tool outputs concise statistics showing added, removed, and modified files.

Comparing branches across worktrees applies to local git repositories with multiple worktrees. You need existing local worktrees set up for tasks like code review, pre-merge inspection, and cross-branch implementation comparisons.

To find all available worktrees and their branches for a pre-merge inspection, you can run a discovery process using git worktree list. This presents clear comparison targets by showing all local worktrees and their associated branch names.
