What this helps you do

Open or create isolated checkouts while keeping repository identity clear.

Find it in GitGlow

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

  1. Inspect the repository and checkout identity shown in the header.
  2. Choose a trusted worktree or review a new worktree destination.
  3. 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

If the workflow cannot continue

Dirty or unfinished worktrees are never removed automatically. Review their changes before cleanup.
