git worktree

Manage multiple working trees attached to the same repository. More information: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree.

• Add a new worktree directory for a branch with the same name (created if missing):

git worktree add {{branch}}

• Create a new directory with the specified branch checked out into it:

git worktree add {{path/to/directory}} {{branch}}

• Create a new directory with a new branch checked out into it:

git worktree add {{path/to/directory}} -b {{new_branch}}

• List all the working directories (including the primary one):

git worktree list

• Move an existing worktree to a new location:

git worktree move {{path/to/worktree}} {{new/path}}

• Remove a worktree directory and its metadata (only if it has no uncommitted changes):

git worktree remove {{path/to/worktree}}

• Remove metadata for a worktree directory that's been manually deleted:

git worktree prune
