Summary - Worktree

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 list

Exercise 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.

Show example solution

const addCommand = "git worktree add ../review review";
const listCommand = "git worktree list";
console.log(addCommand);
console.log(listCommand);

Test yourself

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
- git worktree list followed by git status
- git worktree remove ../feature followed by git worktree list
Show answer

git worktree add ../feature feature followed by git worktree list — First, use <code>add</code> to create the new directory and branch association, then use <code>list</code> to inspect the worktrees.
