What is a Git worktree?

Git worktree lets you check out multiple branches in isolated directories from one repo—perfect for parallel work without clones.

How do you run Claude code agents in parallel?

Use `claude --worktree` in your repo; it auto-creates isolated worktrees. Monitor with `git worktree list`, merge when done.

Does this work outside Claude Code?

Yes—manual `git worktree add` plus agent instructions work with any AI coder, but Claude's flag simplifies.
