๐ฒ Git Worktrees
Git worktrees allow you to check out multiple branches simultaneously without cloning the repository again.
๐ Who This Is For
- Beginners learning multi-branch workflows
- Intermediate users working on parallel tasks
- Advanced engineers needing structured reference
- DevOps and developers managing complex repositories
๐งฉ What Worktrees Solve
- Switching branches without stashing
- Working on multiple features at once
- Testing or reviewing code in parallel
- Avoiding dirty working directories
๐ง Create a New Worktree
| git worktree add ../feature-login feature/login
|
This creates a new directory and checks out the branch there.
๐ง List Worktrees
๐ง Remove a Worktree
| git worktree remove ../feature-login

๐ง Best Practices
- Use worktrees instead of stashing for parallel work
- Keep worktrees small and focused
- Avoid deleting worktree directories manually
