## Definition

A **worktree** is a git feature that lets you check out multiple working directories from a single repository, so separate tasks — such as coding agents — can run in parallel without sharing one checkout. ### Honesty note In this channel's captured material, **_worktree_ appears as a labeled term only**. No timestamped passage in the assigned video defines or demonstrates it, so this entry cannot draw a usage citation from the captured evidence [^717e6970-382c-5199-9605-8fa2c37ec1b2@102]. The definition above is the standard git meaning, offered as general orientation rather than as a claim grounded in the channel's stream.

## How **_worktree_** appears in this channel's material — and what to do with it here — is limited, so treat this entry as a general orientation plus an honesty note. ### The general meaning A **worktree** is a git feature that allows more than one working directory to be checked out from a single repository. Each worktree is its own folder with its own checkout, while sharing the repository's underlying object database. In the context of coding agents — the subject of this channel's _Coding Agents in Practice_ material [^717e6970-382c-5199-9605-8fa2c37ec1b2@102] — that property is potentially useful: agents working in separate folders can touch code without stepping on one checkout, which fits the chapter's recurring lesson that the human's job shifts from typing code to **planning, orchestrating, and verifying**. ### The honesty note In the captured evidence for this glossary entry, **_worktree_ is a label only**. The channel's material does not include a timestamped passage that defines, demonstrates, or discusses worktrees, and the assigned video does not yield a moment to cite for this term. Nothing in the captured material explains _why_ the term was flagged or _how_ it is concretely used. ### What that means for you - Treat the definition above as the standard git meaning, not as a claim drawn from this channel's captured stream. - Do not treat the term's appearance in the material as evidence that any practitioner here recommends a worktree-based workflow. - If you explore the assigned video [^717e6970-382c-5199-9605-8fa2c37ec1b2@102], explore it for the agents-orchestration themes it actually covers — delegation, orchestration surfaces, multi-agent review, and the limits that still demand human judgment — and note any worktree discussion yourself if you find one.
