Parallel Work Across Git Worktrees

Multiple agents work in isolated Git worktrees—separate working copies of a repository—so parallel changes do not overwrite each other.

Illustrative workflow: Parallel Work Across Git Worktrees

What does it do?

Splits tasks, assigns workers to separate worktrees, then merges and validates results.

Why it’s useful

A practical pattern Meta emphasizes for Muse Code multi-agent work.

Follow the work

  1. 1

    Split

    Separate the goal into tasks with clear boundaries and shared assumptions.

  2. 2

    Spawn workers

    Assign each task to a worker with a defined scope and expected output.

  3. 3

    Isolate worktrees

    Give workers separate copies of the repository so their edits do not overwrite one another.

  4. 4

    Merge

    Review and combine the changes, resolving conflicts and incompatible assumptions.

  5. 5

    Validate

    Check the combined result; changes that pass separately may still fail together.

Architecture and technologies

Keep in mind

  • Merges still need judgment
  • Parallel workers can compete for the same computing resources
