Combine worktree commands to set up parallel branch work.
Parallel Work with Worktrees
git worktree lets you work in parallel on different branches using multiple working directories in the same repository. git worktree add creates a new worktree, while git worktree list displays existing worktrees. This allows you to fix a bug in one branch while developing a feature in another.
git worktree add ../feature feature
git worktree listPractice Set Up a Parallel Worktree Workflow
First, define a command that adds a new worktree for the review branch at ../review. Then create a second command that lists the worktrees. Print both commands in order using console.log.
Starter code
// Yeni çalışma ağacını ekleyen komut
const addCommand = "";
// Çalışma ağaçlarını listeleyen komut
const listCommand = "";
// Komutları sırayla yazdırSample solution
const addCommand = "git worktree add ../review review";
const listCommand = "git worktree list";
console.log(addCommand);
console.log(listCommand);Expected output
git worktree add ../review review git worktree list
Questions and answers
Review the lesson questions together with their answers. To test yourself, solve the lesson interactively.
1 Which command sequence is suitable for working on a feature branch in a separate directory?
- git worktree add feature followed by git commit
- git worktree add ../feature feature followed by git worktree list Correct answer
- git worktree list followed by git status
- git worktree remove ../feature followed by git worktree list
Explanation: First, use <code>add</code> to create the new directory and branch association, then use <code>list</code> to inspect the worktrees.
2 Complete the Parallel Work Commands
git worktree ____ ../review review
git worktree git worktree add ../review review
git worktree Explanation: The first command uses add to place the review branch in a separate directory. The second command must use list to display the worktrees.
