Git worktrees save disk space with jdupes deduplication and gain runtime isolation via Agent-Up
Developers running multiple git worktrees on EXT4 filesystems often face rapid disk consumption because each worktree includes identical node_modules and vendor directories. A workaround using the jdupes utility replaces duplicate files with hardlinks, cutting the space used by ten worktrees from about 9 GB to a fraction of that size.
Separately, the open‑source Agent‑Up application adds a runtime manager for coding agents. It isolates each workspace's processes, ports, Docker services, logs and other runtime state, reducing conflicts when several agents operate on the same monorepo. Agent‑Up integrates with the MCP interface to start, stop and monitor workspaces, and plans further features such as browser inspection and health checks.
