Scenario: I’m in the middle of writing a new feature.
Boss, to me: “Shit broke. Go figure it out.”
Me, thinking: I’m in the middle of doing some complex work. If I commit/stash and close the open files, it will take a day for me to remember WTF I was doing.
Me: “Oh look, worktrees! I can leave my workspace intact with all the files open, pending changes, test results, terminal output, everything! And just create a new worktree to checkout the production version and debug! I’m saved!”
Also setting up a worktree is really easy. git worktree add ../hotfix prod-branch && cd ../hotfix and get working. Though in reality it’s cd ../hotfix && git checkout prod-branch because I’ve never needed more than one secondary worktree.
