Managing multiple git worktrees across a single repository can be error-prone and hard to coordinate. This guide explains how to use the wt script to simplify creating, switching, listing, and deleting worktrees while avoiding conflicts and keeping workspaces organized.
Try wt list to view current worktrees, then create a new worktree with wt create DEV-123 and switch into it with wt switch DEV-123

Git worktrees let you maintain multiple working directories from a single repository, enabling parallel feature development without stashing or switching branches. The wt script guides creation, switching, and deletion to keep workspaces organized.
Using the wt script is the best way to manage multiple git worktrees without conflicts. It enforces safe naming conventions, configuration tips, and structured workflows for creating, switching, and deleting worktrees reliably.
To create and switch into a new git worktree for PR review, use the command wt create DEV-123 followed by wt switch DEV-123. This isolates your review workspace without disrupting your primary development branch.
Use git worktrees for long-running builds, PR reviews, and parallel feature development within a single repository. They share git history, avoiding the storage overhead and synchronization issues of maintaining multiple clones.
To safely delete a git worktree, follow the wt script's safe deletion practices and troubleshooting workflows. This prevents broken references and ensures your primary worktree and main repository remain completely intact.
