Use when a coding task needs a concurrent checkout, unrelated dirty state blocks safe branch switching, or the user or repository explicitly requires a worktree.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Using Git Worktrees ## Overview A worktree is an exception for simultaneously checking out another Git history, not a general safety badge. Prefer the current workspace and reuse an existing suitable worktree. A branch decision and a worktree decision are separate. **Core principle:** create only with necessity and ownership evidence; pair every created worktree with a cleanup path. **Announce at start:** explain which concrete checkout conflict requires a worktree. ## Step 0: Environment Detection Before mutation, record the repository root, `HEAD`, branch/detached state, staged/unstaged/untracked paths, active Git operations, and: ```bash git worktree list --porcelain ``` Classify the current host surface's task/chat-bound managed workspace semantics as `managed`, `non-managed`, or `unknown`. Use trusted host/session context, an explicit host contract, or a host-native lifecycle result; do not infer the classification from a product name, directory prefix, command-level `workdir`, missing tool, or absent metadata. `non-managed` requires positive evidence that the current surface lacks task-bound managed semantics. When the host exposes …

How to install
mdr add ganyuanran/aegis/using-git-worktrees@sha256:23e832a61b1b5b23The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.661bec4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
