Since I started using Claude Code more frequently, I kept noticing a “worktree” checkbox popping up whenever I started a session in a Git repository. I had no idea what it meant, so I did what any curious developer would do and started digging. What I found was a Git feature I somehow never came across before: git worktrees.

When you work closely with Icinga Web 2, developing modules, building dashboards, poking around the internals, you naturally pick up on features that most users never think about. Some are usability improvements that deserve more attention than they get. Others are developer conveniences that turn out to be genuinely useful in the right user situation too. They’re just the kind of thing that rarely makes it into the getting-started guide. Not all of these will apply to your daily workflow.

A container reporting “up” tells you the process is running, not that the workload is healthy – but that caveat is true of any service, on a container or a bare server.
