SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Git worktrees enable parallel conductor workflows by isolating agent sessions on separate branches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel session isolation: Run multiple conductor workflows on different branches simultaneously.
  • Worktree management commands: Create, list, switch, remove, prune worktrees with git.
  • VS Code integration: Worktrees appear under Source Control → Repositories; easy navigation.
  • Pattern-based workflows: Use cases for debugging, PR reviews, background tasks, experiments.
  • Lifecycle best practices: Create, work, commit, merge, remove, prune.

Quick Start

Create a new worktree for a feature branch and open it in VS Code to begin a parallel conductor session.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run parallel conductor workflows on different git branches?▼

Git worktrees isolate parallel conductor workflows on separate branches, allowing you to run multiple agent sessions simultaneously. Each worktree provides an independent working directory linked to its own branch.

What is the best way to review PRs alongside active development in VS Code?▼

Using git worktrees for PR reviews alongside active development creates isolated branch sessions. Worktrees appear under Source Control → Repositories in VS Code 1.109+, providing easy navigation between your active work and the review context.

Do I need a specific VS Code version to use git worktrees for branch management?▼

Yes, git worktree branch management requires VS Code 1.109+ integration to display worktrees under Source Control → Repositories. You also need Git with worktree support and a designated location for each worktree with consistent branch naming.

How do I manage the lifecycle of git worktrees for parallel workflows?▼

Managing git worktree lifecycles follows the pattern: create, work, commit, merge, and remove. You can create, list, switch, remove, and prune worktrees using git commands to maintain clean parallel workflow environments.

Can I isolate long-running background tasks using git worktrees?▼

Yes, git worktrees isolate long-running background tasks by placing them on separate branches. This pattern keeps your main branch free for active development while the background task runs independently in its own working directory.
