What is the benefit of using Git worktrees over branch switching?

Worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out at once in different directories, eliminating the need to stash or commit unfinished work every time you need to switch tasks.

Where does this skill store the new worktrees?

To keep your project root organized, this skill creates and manages all worktrees within a specific `./trees/` directory.

Does this skill work with GitHub Pull Requests?

Yes, it integrates with the GitHub CLI (`gh`) to automatically fetch and check out pull requests into dedicated worktree folders using the `pr-{number}` format.

How does the proactive suggestion feature work?

When you mention working on a new task, PR, or feature to Claude, the skill automatically interrupts to ask if you would like to set up a dedicated worktree before you begin implementation.

Can I easily delete worktrees once I am finished?

Yes, the skill includes a cleanup workflow that allows you to list all active worktrees and remove them along with their associated local branches in one step.

Streamlines parallel development by managing isolated Git worktrees for features and pull requests.

Acerca de

The Git Worktree Manager skill optimizes multi-tasking workflows by enabling developers to work on multiple branches simultaneously without the friction of context switching or stashing changes. It automates the creation of organized worktrees within a dedicated directory structure, enforces standardized branch naming conventions, and integrates with the GitHub CLI for seamless PR checkouts. By proactively suggesting worktree creation when new tasks are identified, it ensures your main workspace remains clean and stable while you tackle parallel features or bug fixes.
