What is the benefit of using Git worktrees over stashing?

Git worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out simultaneously in different directories, meaning you don't have to interrupt your current work or stash changes to switch context.

How does the skill handle environment variables?

The skill supports .envrc via direnv and .mise.toml via mise, automatically allowing or installing the necessary environment tools upon worktree creation.

Will I lose uncommitted work if I remove a worktree?

No, the underlying wt-core tool refuses to remove a worktree if it contains uncommitted changes, ensuring your work is protected.

Does this skill automatically install my project dependencies?

Yes, it detects lockfiles such as pnpm-lock.yaml, package-lock.json, yarn.lock, and bun.lockb to automatically run the correct installation command when a new worktree is created.

Herramientas para Desarrolladores

Manages Git worktrees via the wt CLI to enable seamless parallel development across multiple branches.

Acerca de

This skill streamlines Git worktree management within Claude Code, allowing developers to switch between branches and manage parallel workstreams without the overhead of stashing or cloning. It provides automated tools for creating, listing, and removing worktrees while handling dependency installation and environment setup automatically based on project lockfiles like pnpm-lock.yaml or package-lock.json.

Características Principales

Automatic dependency installation (NPM, Yarn, Pnpm, Bun) on creation
Safe worktree removal with protection against losing uncommitted changes
Environment auto-setup with mise and direnv support
Quick listing and status overview of all active worktrees
Create and switch to worktrees for parallel branch development
3 GitHub stars

Casos de Uso

Comparing different branches side-by-side in separate directories
Developing a hotfix while keeping a main feature branch active and uncommitted
Running long-duration tests in a dedicated worktree without blocking the main environment
