Why worktrees enable parallel work in Git - Test Your Understanding

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the command to create a new worktree named 'feature' from the branch 'main'.

Git

git worktree add [1] main

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Afeature

Bmaster

Corigin

Ddev

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'master' instead of 'feature' creates a worktree with the wrong name.

Using 'origin' is incorrect because it's a remote, not a directory name.

The command git worktree add feature main creates a new worktree named 'feature' based on the 'main' branch, allowing parallel work.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the command to list all existing worktrees.

Git

git worktree [1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Acheck

Bstatus

Cshow

Dlist

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'status' or 'show' does not list worktrees.

Using 'check' is not a valid git worktree command.

The command git worktree list shows all the worktrees currently checked out, helping you see parallel workspaces.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the command to remove a worktree named 'feature'.

Git

git worktree [1] feature

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aremove

Bdelete

Cprune

Drm

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'prune' cleans up stale worktrees but does not target a specific one.

Using 'rm' is not a git worktree command.

The correct command to remove a worktree is git worktree remove feature, which removes the specified worktree.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a new worktree named 'test' from branch 'dev' and switch to it.

Git

git worktree add [1] [2] && cd [1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Atest

Bdev

Cmain

Dfeature

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'main' or 'feature' instead of 'dev' for the branch causes the wrong branch to be checked out.

Using a directory name different from the first blank in the cd command causes errors.

This command creates a new worktree directory 'test' from the 'dev' branch and then changes directory into it, enabling parallel work.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to explain how worktrees enable parallel work by creating separate directories, branches, and allowing simultaneous commits.

Git

Worktrees create separate [1], each linked to a [2], allowing [3] commits without interference.

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Adirectories

Bbranches

Csimultaneous

Drepositories

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'repositories' instead of 'branches' is incorrect because worktrees share the same repository.

Using 'repositories' for the first blank is wrong because worktrees are directories inside one repo.

Worktrees create separate directories, each linked to a branch, allowing simultaneous commits without interference. This enables parallel work on different features.
