I’ve never understood checkpoints / forks. When do you use them?

Usually, I tell the agent to try out an idea and if I don't like the implementation or approach I want to undo the code changes. Then I start again, feeding it more information so it can execute a different idea or the same one with a better plan. This also helps the context window small.

  • Can’t you use git for that? I do that often and just revert changes. It does require me to commit often but that’s probably good anyways.
