Git worktree

What is Git worktree?

A git worktree is an additional working copy of a repository linked to the same history, letting you work on multiple branches at once without re-cloning.

Worktrees make safe parallelism possible: each line of work gets its own isolated checkout, so changes don't interfere with one another or with your main branch.

Korden gives every agent its own worktree, which is why multiple missions can run at once and your main branch stays untouched until you merge.
