Git Worktree

Work on multiple branches simultaneously — no stashing, no context switching.

The Situation

You're working on a new dashboard feature. You have uncommitted changes in dashboard.tsx and routes.ts. Suddenly, your teammate pings you: there's a critical bug on main that needs an urgent fix. What do you do?

terminal

$ git status

Changes not staged for commit:
