What this helps you do
Open or create isolated checkouts while keeping repository identity clear.
Open Worktrees in the repository navigator or launch a managed agent into a worktree.
Before you start
Existing trusted worktrees can be inspected in the daily workflow; Pro adds managed creation and concurrent workspaces.
Steps
- Inspect the repository and checkout identity shown in the header.
- Choose a trusted worktree or review a new worktree destination.
- Open Changes and confirm that the checkout-specific state is the intended one.
Expected result
Reads and previews stay bound to the selected checkout while sharing the repository’s Git common directory.
Controls
The controls for this workflow appear in the steps above. Their availability follows the repository, connection, and edition requirements on this page.
Recovery
Dirty or unfinished worktrees are never removed automatically. Review their changes before cleanup.
Practice the Git workflow
Use self-contained local exercises to understand the Git behavior behind these controls.
