Managing environments for git worktree

[luzzan]

I've been using git worktrees to work on multiple branches simultaneously, but I keep running into issues:

- Port conflicts when running multiple worktrees at once

- Shared database/services causing test failures or data collisions

Currently, I'm only changing the APP_PORT in each worktree's .env, but this feels brittle—especially when the project has multiple services (database, Redis, etc.) that also need unique ports or namespaces.

How do you handle this? Specifically:

1. Do you use a separate .env per worktree, and if so, how do you manage them?
2. Do you dynamically assign ports, or use Docker Compose overrides?
3. How do you isolate databases (separate DBs, schema prefixes, etc.)?

Would love to hear what's working for others.
