Running Coding Agents in Parallel with Git Worktrees

Automated excerpt

Result: chaos, even if each agent works perfectly in isolation. git worktree add .. /feature-login -b feature/login main git worktree add .. /feature-payments -b feature/payments main git worktree add .. /integration -b integration main No file conflicts, no working directory conflicts. If you already nuked the folder by hand, git worktree prune fixes the bookkeeping. git worktree add .. /feature-login -b feature/login main cd .. /feature-login && git add . && git commit -m "feat: login" cd .. /integration && git merge feature/login && npm test Worktrees isolate files and branches, not processes. Fix: separate databases or containers per worktree.
