• How I use git worktrees - git/worktree

  • Bill Mill explains how to use Git worktrees to manage multiple branches in separate directories, making context switching and parallel development easier.
  • The default Git UI for worktrees is not very ergonomic, so Bill shares a Bash utility script that streamlines worktree management.
  • Key trick: The script checks for a node_modules folder and, if present, duplicates it to the new worktree directory using copy-on-write. This saves time by avoiding repeated npm install runs.
