Switching Modes

Yggdrasil offers three distinct modes when you choose to switch to a worktree. This allows you to tailor your workflow to the task at hand.

Switch Modes

1. New Window: Opens the selected worktree in a completely new VS Code instance. Great for cross-referencing code or working on two branches simultaneously.
2. Replace Current: Closes the current folder/workspace and opens the selected worktree in the same window. Best for a clean context pivot.
3. Add to Workspace: Adds the worktree folder to your current VS Code window, creating a Multi-root Workspace. Ideal for managing related changes across multiple branches.

Remembering Your Choice

The switch dialog includes a “Remember my choice” checkbox.

• If checked, Yggdrasil will skip the dialog in the future and always use your selected mode.
• A status bar item will appear at the bottom of the editor, showing your current preference (e.g., “Ygg: New Window”).
• You can click the status bar item or run the ygg.clearSwitchMode command to reset this preference and bring back the dialog.
