Git worktree is a Git feature that lets one repository have multiple working directories at the same time. For parallel AI agents, that means each agent can work in its own directory and branch while still sharing the same repository history.
This matters because parallel coding creates conflict risk. If two agents edit the same working tree, their changes can collide, overwrite each other, or become hard to review. With git worktrees, each agent has a separate file state, branch checkout, and staging area.
Verdent uses git worktree-based Workspace Isolation for this reason. Each workspace is isolated at the filesystem level, so one worker can handle a frontend change while another works on backend logic or tests. You can compare approaches, review diffs, sync with the base branch, and selectively rebase only the results you trust. For agentic coding, git worktree is the foundation that makes parallel work reviewable.
