Do you ever find yourself waiting for your agent(s), only wishing you could tick another item off your ever growing backlog in the meantime? Want to review your colleague's work but you're in the middle of important changes? Don't want to git stash, wip commit or clone your repo ten times over? Meet git Worktrees! Perhaps you've heard of these: they're wildly used by Claude Code, VScode Agents view and many more. For sure we'll dive into why this is, what they are and how they work. However, also, perhaps like me, you find these tools (too) opinionated or are restricted in their use. What if you want the power of worktrees but manual? In this talk I'll show you how you can get started with git worktrees yourself, without the headaches.
