This guide teaches you how to master Git worktrees using the gw CLI tool for optimized development workflows.

Git worktrees allow you to have multiple working directories attached to a single repository. Instead of switching branches in your current directory, you can check out different branches in separate directories simultaneously.

| Branch Switching | Single directory, less disk space | Interrupts work, requires stashing, IDE reindexes | | Worktrees | Parallel work, no interruption, shared Git history | Slightly more disk space for working files | | Cloning | Complete isolation | Huge disk space, separate Git history, harder to sync |

Master Git worktrees and gw-tools workflows for parallel development. Use this skill when creating worktrees, managing multiple branches simultaneously, navigating between worktrees, troubleshooting worktree issues, or setting up feature branch workflows. Triggers on tasks involving git worktree commands, branch isolation, parallel development, or gw CLI usage. Source: mthines/gw-tools.
