Claude Code + Git Worktrees

The Multiplier Nobody Talks About

Claude Code is already fast. But most people run it in a single branch, waiting for one task to finish before starting the next.

Git worktrees change everything.

A worktree lets you check out multiple branches of the same repo simultaneously — each in its own directory, sharing one .git folder. No cloning. No stashing. No context-switching pain.

Now combine that with Claude Code. You spin up a worktree per feature, launch a Claude Code session in each, and suddenly you're shipping in parallel.

SNIPPET: bash
git worktree add ../feature-auth main git worktree add ../fix-nav main cd ../feature-auth && claude

Each session gets its own isolated workspace. Claude isn't confused by half-finished changes from another branch. It reads clean state, writes clean code.

The workflow is simple: create worktree, open Claude Code, describe the task, let it cook. Meanwhile, you're already in the next worktree doing the same thing.

When everything's done, you merge. That's it.

Stop running one agent at a time. Worktrees let you treat Claude Code like a team, not a single developer.
