Parallel work
Start from a configured repository. Read Worktrees and watchers before choosing shared or isolated files.
git worktree add ../project-review -b review-work
cd ../project-review
hack up --detach
hack open
hack psA linked worktree selects a branch instance automatically, named after the branch,
with its own hostnames such as api.review-work.<project>.hack.local. A detached
worktree needs an explicit --branch <name>. Stop the instance from its owning
checkout when finished.
A separate branch instance does not isolate external databases, shared bind-mounted files or credentials. Coordinate with people and agents: name the checkout and branch, assign service and file ownership, and keep one owner for lifecycle operations against an instance.
On the native backend, branch selection is explicit (--branch) and needs the
prepared source share described in the native reference.
