Hey everyone! My name is Redhwan Nacef (Red for short). In this channel, I'm hoping to share my thoughts on software engineering, coding, management, and all things tech. I hope you enjoy!

Worktrees solve half of all my problems... Seriously it's such a rarely known, yet effective tool in Git
Also, really like the way you share the terminal and your background, first time seen someone do that 😀

[@RedhwanNacef]

Great to hear. Thanks, I got the idea from @devaslife so all credit goes to him!

[@Oswee]

I think I'm gonna steal the idea of putting camera behind the blur if I will go into streaming. :) Nice idea.

[@RedhwanNacef]

Go for it! 👌🏼 Thanks.

[@MrSnivvel]

For a better tutorial, two things. First, using the full, non-aliased commands would be clearer on what's being done and be easier to process than having to constantly do the mental conversions. Second, having the second worktree that's not located in hidden directory (that also requires a blanket gitignore entry) but in the root of the bare clone directory would be better for general simplicity of explaining the concepts.

[@KuldeepSingh-vw6cx]

Really, on point. Thanks man! 🤟

[@a_maxed_out_handle_of_30_chars]

simple and to the point, thank you :)

[@RedhwanNacef]

Thanks :)

[@tinotaylor]

Thanks for the clear explanation

[@Marco-he6fx]

Thank you very much for this video, it's very clear! What are you using for the suggestions inside the terminal?

[@guhanbalasubramanian4144]

Interesting video. On as side note, what is the terminal and font used in this video?

[@andrewdatar9880]

Thank you. Your git aliases are really cool. Do you have a video/article about how did you make them?

[@tobiaspreuss]

Thanks! Would you say worktree is an alternative to stash or to creating temporary branches? What are the advantages or disadvantages of worktree compared with other commands?

[@RedhwanNacef]

You're welcome. Yes I would, I think the main advantage of worktrees is the simplicity. You can leave your worktree in its current state untouched and comeback to it. If you use stash or branch (which I used to do), you need to know about other git commands. You need to make sure you commit/add files which can get messy if you add/remove dependencies or need a different environment set up. Then when you go back to working on it, you need to again make sure the environment is back to its previous state and then "uncommit" changes to see what you were working on or continue without context. Hope that makes sense!

Can’t believe you’re not a +100k sub channel.
The transparent terminal with you in the background, the informative content and the hacker workflow.

[@Norfeldt]

Very useful video. What about .gitignore files - say that you have some .env files and you have upgraded some packages on you feature branch?

[@RedhwanNacef]

Thanks! Sorry, not sure I understand are asking here? This should all resolve just fine once rebasing/merging the feature branch in?

[@mbaneshi]

good explained - thanks

[@RedhwanNacef]

Thanks.

[@stefans2068]

Thx nice over few, so git worktree is basically a little simplified git clone, too sad that the folder management is not included/automaed.

this video smells like _thePrimeagen_

[@AkinBelieve]

Maybe, but then every prime video smells like the two-time, and that's okay.

[@RedhwanNacef]

Not quite as blazingly fast.
