How do I clean up a worktree after completing a task?

Once your PR is merged, you can remove the worktree directory and use the 'worktree-cleanup' skill to prune the worktree information from your Git metadata.

Can I work on the same branch in two different worktrees?

No, Git policy dictates that a specific branch can only be checked out in one worktree at a time to prevent conflicts and data loss.

What is the primary advantage of using Git worktrees over branch switching?

Git worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out at once in separate directories. This eliminates the need to stash uncommitted changes or perform complex rebases just to check out a different branch for a quick fix.

How are the new worktree directories named?

The skill uses a standardized naming pattern: `../ProjectOdyssey- - `. This keeps your parent directory organized and makes it easy to identify which worktree corresponds to which task.

Herramientas para Desarrolladores

Streamlines parallel development by creating isolated Git worktrees for multiple feature branches without context-switching overhead.

Acerca de

The Git Worktree Creator skill optimizes your development workflow by enabling simultaneous work on multiple project branches through isolated directory structures. Instead of stashing changes or frequently switching branches within a single directory, this skill leverages Git's worktree functionality to set up parallel environments. It is specifically designed to manage complex feature sets, bug fixes, and experimental code paths within the ProjectOdyssey Mojo framework, allowing developers to move between tasks instantly without losing progress or disturbing the main repository state.
