Git Worktrees: The Simple Solution You've Been Missing
Hello, and welcome to The Gray Cat!
Ever been deep in your work when a colleague asks for an urgent PR review? The old way meant stashing your changes, checking out their branch, running `npm install`, and completely losing your flow. There's a better way: **Git Worktrees**, made incredibly simple with a tiny CLI tool called `wt`.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how this "groundbreaking" tool allows you to work on multiple branches and review pull requests simultaneously, each in its own isolated folder, without ever interrupting your main task. In about 10 minutes, you'll learn a workflow that will boost your productivity so much you'll never go back.
We'll cover how to:
Create new branches in separate worktrees (`wt new`)
Instantly check out GitHub Pull Requests (`wt pr`)
List and manage your active worktrees (`wt ls`)
Clean up and remove old branches (`wt rm` & `wt purge`)
If you want to level up your Git workflow, this video is for you.
