Git worktrees allow parallel feature development by creating multiple isolated working directories from a single repository. Use git worktree add to start a new branch in a separate path without disrupting your main workspace.

Managing multiple git branches for PR reviews is best done using git worktrees to create dedicated directories for each review. This keeps your main workspace intact while providing isolated environments to review and test each pull request independently.
