## Git Worktree support

You might need several instances of the project running simultaneously (e.g.,
parallel feature branches, AI agent workflows, or PR reviews).
See how [DDEV handles it](https://www.fldrupal.camp/session/use-git-worktree-ddev-run-multiple-versions-same-site). There's also an [add-on for this](https://github.com/elabx/ddev-worktrees?tab=readme-ov-file#ddev-worktree):
```
ddev add-on install esanmiguel/ddev-worktree
```

The project name is omitted from [config.yaml](https://github.com/Gizra/drupal-starter/blob/main/.ddev/config.yaml), so DDEV can use the directory name, which is needed in this scenario.

## Default content management
