Git stores complete snapshots as objects, not diffs.
Worktrees isolate parallel agent work; submodules manage cross-repo dependencies.
Hook scripts must use `git rev-parse --git-common-dir` to work correctly across all worktrees.
Isolate parallel AI agents with git worktree to prevent corruption.
Filesystem layout, not prompting, determines whether parallel agents corrupt shared code.
Automatically delete orphaned Git worktrees before they consume hundreds of gigabytes.
Git worktrees give each coding agent its own isolated workspace.
Isolate multiple coding agents with separate worktrees backed by a single shared history.
