Worktree

git worktree

git worktree add master

• Create a bare repo and start making new worktrees import.git (Private)
  • This means that a copy of the repo files is made for each worktree at the source commit that the bare repo was made from
  • Worktrees make it easier to open multiple repo branches at once under a unified workspace for easy switching of work between multiple features
  • Doesn't lend itself to easy updating.
    • The bare repo doesn't git pull itself but the worktrees after creation can use git pull but this is not ideal. The bare repo is basically frozen at a single commit for all new worktrees made.

Making work-trees

• ThePrimeagen

git clone --bare <repo url.git> <name of the folder to create>
# ex:
git clone --bare git@github.com:tallguyjenks/CV.git CV


# makes a bare repo of my resume
# there's nothing in it, none of the files from the repo just git stuff
# THEN

git worktree add master
git worktree add test
git worktree add feature

# it takes the current commit at the HEAD of the repo (git pull at you're at the most recent) and this way # you're working with 3 folders basically 3 branches of the same repo but simultaneously. NO SWITCHING BACK & AND FORTH 🤯️🤯️🤯️
