How do I set up Git Work Trees for Claude Code?

Use the command 'git worktree add ../project-feature-name feature/branch-name' to create a separate working directory for each branch. Then run a separate Claude Code instance in each folder, allowing you to work on multiple features simultaneously.

What are slash commands in Claude Code?
