What problem does it solve?

Git worktrees enable running multiple branches in parallel by attaching separate working directories to the same repository, eliminating constant checkout switching and enabling isolated task workspaces.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multiple worktrees share the same Git history and objects, while each worktree preserves its own working directory state.
• A given branch can only be checked out in one worktree at a time, preventing conflicting edits.
• Use Case: Open separate worktrees for feature development, bugfixing, and research tasks to accelerate parallel progress and simplify handoffs.

Quick Start

From the base repository, create a new worktree for your task using git worktree add and begin working in the new directory.
