Worktree

The Worktree tab displays and manages Git worktrees in your repository, enabling parallel development on multiple branches.

What are Git Worktrees?

Git worktrees allow you to have multiple working directories from a single repository. Each worktree can be on a different branch, enabling you to:

• Work on multiple features simultaneously
• Keep your main branch clean while experimenting
• Isolate Claude’s work from your main codebase

Worktree List

The tab displays all worktrees in your repository:

Auto-Refresh

The worktree list automatically refreshes every 2 seconds when the tab is visible, so you’ll see new worktrees appear as Claude creates them.

Opening Worktrees

Press o on a selected worktree to open it:

• Opens in your configured IDE
• Opens a terminal at the worktree path

Deleting Worktrees

Press d to delete a worktree:

1. A confirmation dialog appears
2. Press y to confirm or n to cancel
3. The worktree directory is removed

Task Integration

Tasks can be linked to worktrees through the WorktreeInfo field:

• Branch Name: The branch being worked on
• Path: Location of the worktree

When reviewing a task, you can:

• Open the worktree in your IDE
• Merge the worktree branch to main
• Resolve conflicts if they occur

Merge Operations

From the Tasks tab review popup, you can merge worktree changes:

1. Select “Merge to Branch” in the review popup
2. Chloe attempts to merge the worktree branch to main
3. If conflicts are detected, the option changes to “Resolve Conflicts”
4. Claude is prompted to fix any merge conflicts

Keybindings

Repository Detection

Chloe automatically detects the repository root and lists all worktrees. If you’re not in a Git repository, an error message is displayed.
