Git worktrees for AI development
AI coding agents edit files aggressively. Running two agents on the same checkout is a recipe for lost changes. Git worktrees give each task its own working directory tied to the same repository, so parallel runs stay independent until you deliberately merge.
Problems worktrees solve
- Concurrent edits – Agent A and Agent B no longer fight over the same tree.
- Clean review – Diffs map to a single task’s intent.
- Easy rollback – Discard a worktree without touching other in-flight work.
How Vibe Kanban uses them
Each card can own a dedicated workspace backed by a worktree. See workspaces for behavior and limits, and parallel execution for orchestration patterns.
