Worktree

A second working copy of the same project, in another folder, so two Claude sessions can work in parallel without getting in each other’s way.

You’ll also find it as: worktrees, git worktree

How it appears in the course

You can have several Claudes working in parallel, each in its own copy of the project (git worktrees).
