GitHub account features are separate from local Git operations. See GitHub Integration for dashboard sync, account access, and token storage details.
Use Worktrees when you want multiple branches checked out at the same time with separate workspace, terminal, and Git status state.
On Windows, Git repositories inside WSL workspaces are supported through Athas' WSL path bridge. See WSL.
