Git worktrees let you check out multiple branches at the same time. Each branch lives in its own directory. This means you can switch between tasks by changing folders instead of stashing or cloning. No more context switching or lost changes.
They are useful when you need to review a pull request while still writing code. Or when you want to compare two implementations side by side. One repository handles all branches without duplication.
You can create a worktree for any branch. Work on a feature, a fix, and the main branch all at once. Simple commands like git worktree add make it easy to set up. Just change directories to switch contexts.
