Git Worktrees + Agents:🦄 #35
In this episode, we break down how to run multiple AI agents in a single codebase using Git worktrees. You’ll learn why naive repo cloning breaks down, how worktrees solve real-world workflow issues, and how to safely run parallel agents without stepping on each other’s changes.
