Version Control Documentation
Summary
Official Git documentation for the git worktree command, which enables managing multiple working trees attached to a single repository, allowing simultaneous checkout of multiple branches or detached HEAD states for parallel development workflows.
Highlights
- Allows checking out multiple branches simultaneously from a single repository without stashing or switching branches
- Supports creating linked worktrees with new branches, existing branches, or detached HEAD for experimental work
- Provides full lifecycle management: add, list, lock, move, prune, remove, repair, and unlock subcommands
- Stale worktree metadata is automatically pruned via gc.worktreePruneExpire or manually with git worktree prune
- Worktrees on portable or network storage can be locked to prevent accidental pruning of administrative files
