The usage of worktrees is seeing a big comeback in the era of AI assisted coding.

I have a script that takes Github issues and spins them out into their own worktrees with corresponding stack.

I can then run individual instances of Claude Code in each and easily flip between them.

What comeback? It’s been there for years and people who have use for them use them (or use git-clone(1) if they are not aware of them). It didn’t fall out of use at any point.

"Comeback" is probably the wrong word, maybe "uptick" in usage?

Worktrees just fit particularly well for the scenario of developing multiple different features in parallel on the same codebase, which is a pattern that devs doing a lot of AI assisted development have.
