# Worktrees

Git worktrees let you work on multiple branches simultaneously, each with its own working directory.

**How to use:**

* Create a worktree from the Agent Mode UI to start an isolated AI session on a new branch.
* From a Tracker item, choose the worktree action to launch an isolated session with that item linked as its context.
* From Pull Request mode, choose **Open in Worktree** to check out the pull request branch and start a session inside it.
* Each worktree has its own file system state, so changes don't interfere with your main branch.
* Rebase worktrees even with uncommitted changes - auto-stashing handles it for you.
* Use the worktree terminal button to access a terminal scoped to that specific worktree.

**Benefits:**

* Work on multiple features in parallel without stashing or switching branches
* AI sessions stay isolated - experiments don't affect your main codebase
* Safe rebasing with automatic stash management

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nimbalyst.com/developer-features/worktrees.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
