Why git worktrees remain unavoidable for running parallel coding agents locally
dotey · x · 2026-10-29
Responding to advice to skip git worktrees, dotey explains that once you run many coding agents in parallel, worktrees become unavoidable for keeping tasks from interfering. Cloud execution is an option but lacks the complete local environment, makes some validation impossible, and costs more — so local worktrees remain the practical choice for parallel agent workflows.
