Where are the managed worktrees stored?

By default, this kit organizes all managed worktrees within a standardized .worktrees/ directory located in your project root.

How are environment variables handled across worktrees?

The copy-env command safely copies .env files to new worktrees without overwriting existing files or following risky symlinks, ensuring your environment is ready to run.

Can I use this for code reviews?

Yes, it is ideal for isolated reviews. It allows you to check out a PR's branch into a fresh directory for testing and inspection without interrupting your main work.

What are the benefits of using worktrees over stashing?

Worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out simultaneously in different directories, eliminating the need to stash and pop changes when switching tasks.

Does this skill delete my branches during cleanup?

No, the cleanup command is designed to remove the worktree directory only; it does not force-delete local or remote branches.

Developer Tools

Manages Git worktrees and environment variables to enable isolated, parallel feature development and seamless code reviews.

The Flow-Next Worktree Kit streamlines the management of Git worktrees, allowing developers to switch between tasks or review PRs without disturbing their primary workspace. It provides automated scripts for creating, listing, and cleaning up worktrees under a standardized .worktrees/ directory, while also handling the safe synchronization of sensitive .env files across isolated environments. This skill is essential for maintaining a clean development state during complex, multi-tasking workflows.
