Git worktrees enable checking out multiple branches simultaneously in separate directories, all sharing the same repository. Create a worktree instead of stashing changes or cloning separately.
Core principle: One worktree per active branch. Switch contexts by changing directories, not branches.
| Main worktree | Original working directory from git clone or git init | | Linked worktree | Additional directories created with git worktree add | | Shared .git | All worktrees share same Git object database (no duplication) | | Branch lock | Each branch can only be checked out in ONE worktree at a time |
