VS Code Git Worktrees
In a previous post, I introduced VS Code Agent Kanban. The key idea in this extension is the formalisation of a plan, todo implement flow that required the agent to converse in markdown files that I'd been using for a while - but manually managing the files (The reasoning and benefits of that flow are covered in the linked post). This post covers the evolution of that process to the use of Git Worktrees.
