Where are the worktrees actually stored?

By default, it checks for a .worktrees/ or worktrees/ folder in your project. You can also specify a global path in your ~/.config or define a preference in your CLAUDE.md file.

How does the skill ensure my repository doesn't get cluttered?

The skill performs a safety verification check using 'git check-ignore'. If the worktree directory isn't ignored, it will automatically add it to your .gitignore and commit the change before proceeding.

What is the main benefit of using Git worktrees with Claude?

Worktrees allow Claude to work on a new feature in a completely separate directory, meaning it won't interfere with your current uncommitted changes or running processes in your main workspace.

Does it automatically install dependencies in the new worktree?

Yes, it detects project manifest files like package.json, Cargo.toml, or requirements.txt and runs the appropriate installation command (npm install, cargo build, etc.) automatically.

Herramientas para Desarrolladores

Automates the creation and setup of isolated Git worktrees with smart dependency installation and safety verification.

Acerca de

The Git Worktree Manager skill empowers Claude to create isolated development environments, allowing for simultaneous work on multiple branches without the friction of frequent switching or stashing. It follows a systematic directory selection process, ensures worktree locations are properly excluded via .gitignore to prevent repository pollution, and automatically detects project types to run relevant dependency installation and baseline tests. This skill is essential for maintaining clean, parallel workflows during complex feature development or subagent-driven implementation tasks.

Características Principales

Baseline test execution to ensure development starts from a stable state
Automated .gitignore verification and fixing to prevent accidental commits
Seamless integration with brainstorming and branch finalization workflows
Smart directory selection favoring hidden .worktrees or CLAUDE.md preferences
Multi-language project setup for Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go
6 GitHub stars

Casos de Uso

Parallelizing implementation plans across multiple isolated workspaces
Automating the environment setup for sub-agents to work on specific tasks
Starting a new feature branch while maintaining a running server in the main directory
