Git worktrees have been around since 2015, but few devs use them like they could. They let you work on multiple branches at once—each in its own directory—without the usual stash-switch-stash-repeat dance.
The real power move? Pair them with a bare repo. That gives you a clean, central base where each worktree lives outside the main checkout. It’s tidy. It scales. And it makes parallel work feel natural instead of chaotic.
