# Git Worktrees Presentation
> Get to know git worktree: What is it? What to use it for? Why is it great?
## Introduction, and the problem
See the [link](https://ducktordanny.github.io/git-worktrees-presentation/) in the About section of the GitHub repo.
## Demo
1. Clone bare repository:
```sh
git clone --bare [email protected]:ducktordanny/git-worktrees-presentation.git
cd git-worktrees-presentation.git
```
2. Because we fetch the bare repo, check:
```sh
git config --get remote.origin.fetch
```
If this does not return anything, or it doesn't return "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*", then:
```sh
git config remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*"
```
Why is this needed? Well git clone --bare does two things:
- it makes a bare repository that has no work-tree and does no initial checkout
- it changes the default fetch refspec from +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* to +refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*
So we have to set it manually. Otherwise, fetch and pull might not work when you want to access new changes.
3. Create working trees
E.g.:
```sh
git worktree add feature-1
git worktree add review-stuff
git worktree add random
```
Then it will create the "feature-1", "review-stuff" and "random" folders, each having its own repo files, and we can easily just cd into them and out of them.
- Navigate inside "feature-1", start to implement your feature.
- While there is something that you have to check in another branch for your coworker, just leave everything as it is and `cd` into the "random" folder, and then checkout the needed branch from there.
- After you finished, just `cd` back and continue.
