Git Worktree

Last updated

What is Git Worktree?

Git worktree allows multiple branches to be checked out simultaneously in separate directories, all linked to the same repository. Running git worktree add <path> <branch> creates a new working directory for a specific branch without needing to clone the repository again. This is useful when a developer needs to work on two branches at once, like testing a hotfix while a feature branch remains checked out elsewhere.
