Why Claude Code Teams Are Abandoning Worktrees for Better Alternatives

While Claude Code's worktree feature promises isolated environments for parallel development, it creates significant problems in complex projects: port conflicts, database collisions, disk space explosion, and dependency installation delays plague teams working on large monorepos. At Trigger.dev, managing worktrees consumed more time than shipping features. GitButler and similar alternatives offer a more practical approach, enabling efficient parallel development without the infrastructure overhead that worktrees demand.
