Description

Manage multiple Git worktrees to work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching

Use Cases

  • Work on multiple feature branches simultaneously
  • Handle urgent fixes without interrupting current work
  • Compare code across different branches
  • Run tests on multiple versions in parallel
  • Keep local changes during code review

Core Capabilities

  • Create Worktrees: Create independent directories for branches
  • Manage Worktrees: List, switch, delete worktrees
  • Best Practices: Worktree organization and naming conventions

Example

I'm developing on feature/auth branch, suddenly need to fix
an urgent bug on main branch.


Please help:
1. Create a new worktree for hotfix
2. Complete fix without affecting current work
3. Clean up worktree after completion

Notes

  • Worktrees share the same .git directory
  • Don’t checkout same branch in multiple worktrees
  • Regularly clean up unneeded worktrees
