Git Worktrees Let You Work on Multiple Branches Simultaneously Without Cloning

Git worktrees allow developers to check out multiple branches in separate folders from a single repository, eliminating the need for duplicate clones or constant branch switching. Each worktree shares the same underlying repository history while maintaining its own independent working directory. The feature is particularly useful when a developer needs to fix a bug on one branch while keeping unfinished feature work intact in another folder. Worktrees are managed via simple commands such as 'git worktree add' to create and 'git worktree remove' to safely delete them. Beginners are advised to always remove worktrees using Git commands rather than deleting folders manually, and to verify their active branch before committing changes.
