345345Worktrees are stored in `<project-root>/.claude/worktrees/` by default. You can change this to a custom directory in Settings → Claude Code under "Worktree location". You can also set a branch prefix that gets prepended to every worktree branch name, which is useful for keeping Claude-created branches organized. To remove a worktree when you're done, hover over the session in the sidebar and click the archive icon. To have sessions archive themselves when their pull request merges or closes, turn on **Auto-archive after PR merge or close** in Settings → Claude Code. Auto-archive only applies to local sessions that have finished running.

350350 Session isolation requires [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads). Most Macs include Git by default. Run `git --version` in Terminal to check; if it prints a version number, Git is installed. If you run into Git errors, ask Claude in the [Cowork tab](https://claude.com/product/cowork) to help troubleshoot your setup.
