vamseeachanta Git Worktree Workflow
Overview
Git worktrees allow you to have multiple working directories from a single repository, enabling parallel development workflows with Codex. This is essential for running multiple Codex instances on different tasks simultaneously.
Quick Start
# 1. Create worktree for new feature branch
git worktree add -b feature-api ../project-api main
# 2. Run Codex in worktree
cd ../project-api && Codex "Implement the feature"
# 3. After completion, merge and cleanup
cd ../project
git merge feature-api
git worktree remove ../project-api
git branch -d feature-api
When to Use
- Running multiple Codex agents on different features
- Testing changes while continuing development
- Code review with live comparison
- Parallel bug fixes across branches
- Subagent verification workflows
- A/B implementation comparisons
- CI/CD parallel job execution
