+<div class="paragraph"><p>Manage multiple worktrees attached to the same repository.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>A git repository can support multiple working trees, allowing you to check
+out more than one branch at a time. With <code>git checkout --to</code> a new working
+tree is associated with the repository. This new working tree is called a
+"linked working tree" as opposed to the "main working tree" prepared by "git
+init" or "git clone". A repository has one main working tree (if it&#8217;s not a
+bare repository) and zero or more linked working trees.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>When you are done with a linked working tree you can simply delete it.
+The working tree&#8217;s administrative files in the repository (see
+"DETAILS" below) will eventually be removed automatically (see
+<code>gc.pruneworktreesexpire</code> in <a href=":git-config.html">:git-config(1)</a>), or you can run
+<code>git worktree prune</code> in the main or any linked working tree to
+clean up any stale administrative files.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>If you move a linked working directory to another file system, or
+within a file system that does not support hard links, you need to run
+at least one git command inside the linked working directory
+(e.g. <code>git status</code>) in order to update its administrative files in the
+repository so that they do not get automatically pruned.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>If a linked working tree is stored on a portable device or network share
+which is not always mounted, you can prevent its administrative files from
+being pruned by creating a file named <em>lock</em> alongside the other
+administrative files, optionally containing a plain text reason that
+pruning should be suppressed. See section "DETAILS" for more information.</p></div>

+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Each linked working tree has a private sub-directory in the repository&#8217;s
+$GIT_DIR/worktrees directory. The private sub-directory&#8217;s name is usually
+the base name of the linked working tree&#8217;s path, possibly appended with a
+number to make it unique. For example, when <code>$GIT_DIR=/path/main/.git</code> the
+command <code>git checkout --to /path/other/test-next next</code> creates the linked
+working tree in <code>/path/other/test-next</code> and also creates a
+<code>$GIT_DIR/worktrees/test-next</code> directory (or <code>$GIT_DIR/worktrees/test-next1</code>
+if <code>test-next</code> is already taken).</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Within a linked working tree, $GIT_DIR is set to point to this private
+directory (e.g. <code>/path/main/.git/worktrees/test-next</code> in the example) and
+$GIT_COMMON_DIR is set to point back to the main working tree&#8217;s $GIT_DIR
+(e.g. <code>/path/main/.git</code>). These settings are made in a <code>.git</code> file located at
+the top directory of the linked working tree.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Path resolution via <code>git rev-parse --git-path</code> uses either
+$GIT_DIR or $GIT_COMMON_DIR depending on the path. For example, in the
+linked working tree <code>git rev-parse --git-path HEAD</code> returns
+<code>/path/main/.git/worktrees/test-next/HEAD</code> (not
+<code>/path/other/test-next/.git/HEAD</code> or <code>/path/main/.git/HEAD</code>) while <code>git
+rev-parse --git-path refs/heads/master</code> uses
+$GIT_COMMON_DIR and returns <code>/path/main/.git/refs/heads/master</code>,
+since refs are shared across all working trees.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>See <a href="gitrepository-layout.html">gitrepository-layout(5)</a> for more information. The rule of
+thumb is do not make any assumption about whether a path belongs to
+$GIT_DIR or $GIT_COMMON_DIR when you need to directly access something
+inside $GIT_DIR. Use <code>git rev-parse --git-path</code> to get the final path.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>To prevent a $GIT_DIR/worktrees entry from from being pruned (which
+can be useful in some situations, such as when the
+entry&#8217;s working tree is stored on a portable device), add a file named
+<em>locked</em> to the entry&#8217;s directory. The file contains the reason in
+plain text. For example, if a linked working tree&#8217;s <code>.git</code> file points
+to <code>/path/main/.git/worktrees/test-next</code> then a file named
+<code>/path/main/.git/worktrees/test-next/locked</code> will prevent the
+<code>test-next</code> entry from being pruned. See
+<a href="gitrepository-layout.html">gitrepository-layout(5)</a> for details.</p></div>
