Git 2.44.0+ (as of 2026-03-07).</p> <h2 id="core-concept-the-multi-directory-model">Core Concept: The Multi-Directory Model</h2> <p>Traditionally, <code>git checkout</code> changes your <em>entire</em> working directory and index. Git Worktree breaks this by allowing multiple working directories, each with its own <code>HEAD</code>, index, and working tree, all stemming from a single, shared <code>.git/objects</code> store. This solves the problem of needing to stash or commit incomplete work when switching contexts.</p>
