Worktrees & submodules

Worktrees

A worktree is a second checkout of the same repository, in its own folder — so you can look at main while feature/x stays exactly as you left it, with no stashing.

Create and remove worktrees from the sidebar. Double-click one to open it as its own tab; right-click for Open worktree, Reveal in folder and removal.
Right-click any local branch → Open in a worktree to spin one up in a sibling folder and open it as a tab.
A branch can live in only one worktree at a time, so checking out a branch another worktree already holds cannot work — git refuses with already used by worktree at …. Gitcito takes you there instead: the branch's menu reads Go to x in its worktree, and double-clicking the row opens that worktree's tab rather than failing.

Submodules

Add, update (init & checkout), sync URLs and remove submodules, with live status for each one:

Status	Means
In sync	Checked out at the commit the parent records
Modified	Checked out somewhere else, or dirty
Uninitialized	Recorded, but never checked out

Submodules carrying their status, one row each
