What is a Git worktree?

A Git worktree allows you to have multiple working directories linked to a single repository, each with its own checked-out branch, enabling you to work on different tasks simultaneously.

Can I check out the same branch in multiple worktrees?

No, Git standard behavior prevents the same branch from being checked out in more than one worktree at a time to prevent data corruption and conflicts.

Where are worktrees usually created?

This skill follows the convention of creating worktrees as sibling directories to your main repository (e.g., ../your-repo-feature).

How does this skill help with parallel development?

It automates the setup and management of these environments, allowing Claude to create, list, and switch between multiple branch directories without the need for constant stashing.

Do I need to reinstall dependencies in each worktree?

Yes, because each worktree is a separate physical directory on your machine, you must run your package manager's install command (like npm or yarn) for each one.

소개

The Git Worktree Manager skill empowers Claude to orchestrate complex Git workflows by managing multiple working directories from a single repository. It allows developers to switch between features, apply hotfixes in isolation, and run parallel development servers without the overhead of constant stashing or branch switching. By automating the creation, listing, and pruning of worktrees, this skill streamlines the process of working on multiple branches at once while maintaining a clean and organized project structure.
