# Guides

Creating a worktree is the beginning of its working life. These guides cover
what follows, by what you want to do with it.

**[Working with worktrees](use-branchery/worktrees.md)**

Read the overview, keep a worktree current, try a patch and come back,
and remove what is finished.

**[Databases and data](use-branchery/databases.md)**

Follow where a worktree's data comes from, replace it, or keep it when
the checkout is removed.

**[Editors](use-branchery/editors.md)**

Debug the right checkout and keep one editor window out of every other
worktree.

**[Troubleshooting](use-branchery/troubleshooting.md)**

Recover from stopped builds, refused operations and state left behind
outside Branchery.
