When working with Git, you often need to switch between branches or work on multiple features simultaneously. While many developers use git stash to temporarily save changes, Git worktrees offer a more powerful and flexible alternative.

What is Git Worktree?

Git worktree allows you to check out multiple branches at the same time. Each worktree is a separate working directory with its own branch, but all worktrees share the same repository history and object database. This makes it easier to work on multiple features or bug fixes simultaneously without the need to stash and unstash changes.

Commands:

git worktree add -b <new-branch> ../<my-folder>
