Why lanes matter
A lane is ADE’s unit of parallel work. Each lane maps to its own Git worktree and branch state, so separate tasks do not collide immediately.
Create a lane
Open the Lanes view
Use the Lanes view from the sidebar.
Create a new lane
Click New Lane and choose a name plus a base branch.
Wait for the worktree
ADE creates the worktree, registers it, and marks it ready once the checkout is usable.
Naming guidance
- Use a short task-oriented name
- Match your Git branch conventions when they matter
- Prefer one lane per feature, fix, or experiment
If you are unsure, start from your project’s default branch and let ADE create a fresh feature lane from there.
