How Git Worktrees Let Claude Code Agents Run in True Isolation

How Git Worktrees Let Claude Code Agents Run in True Isolation Running two Claude Code agents on the same codebase at the same time without worktrees is an exercise in chaos. Both agents read the same files, write the same files, and one inevitably clobbers what the other just built. Git worktrees solve this by giving each agent a completely separate working directory — same repo history, entirely separate filesystem state. This is how we run a small fleet of content agents at Netanel without them stepping on each other, and the mechanics are simpler than they sound. What a Git Worktree Actually Is Most developers have used git stash or branches to switch context. A git worktree is a different mechanism: it creates a second (or third, or tenth) checked-out copy of your repository in a separate directory, each on its own branch, all sharing the same .git database. # Vanilla git: create two worktrees manually git worktree add ../project-feature-a -b feature-a git worktree add ../project-
