# Docks and lanes

> Working in several places at once without forking your own line.

A **dock** is an isolated working tree plus its own tip, materialized cheaply over one shared object store — loot's answer to a git worktree, without a second clone. Docks are the light-touch tool for running several agents or workstreams against one repo; concurrent edits reconcile through the merge classifier, and conflicts surface as machine-readable verdicts rather than being silently dropped.
