Master your Git Worktree workflow without leaving VS Code.
Worktree Manager gives you a first-class visual interface for Git Worktrees. Check out branches into separate folders, work on multiple features simultaneously, and keep your main repository clean—all with a unified, intuitive UI.
Why Use Worktrees?
Stop stashing and popping just to review a PR or fix a bug. Git Worktrees allow you to check out multiple branches at once in separate directories.
🚀 Zero context switching overhead
🛡️ Clean main environment
⚡ Parallel builds and tests

Started working on main but realized update needs a new branch?
Create a new worktree and automatically move your uncommitted changes to the new isolated environment.
We handle the stash and pop for you.
🎨 Visual & Theme Integration
Color-Coded Windows: New worktrees get a unique, auto-generated title bar color so you never mix up your "Production Hotfix" window with your "Experimental Feature" window.
Rich Status: See at a glance which worktrees are dirty, locked, or active.
🧹 Smart Cleanup
Keep your disk usage low. The extension detects worktrees whose branches have been merged into main and offers to bulk delete them.
