Git Branch Manager FAQs

Question 1

Can I use this skill with GitHub and GitLab?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is platform-agnostic. It loads your repository configuration to invoke the appropriate handler for GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket automatically.

Question 2

Does it handle branch checkout automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can automatically check out the new branch after creation, or if in worktree mode, it will switch the directory context to the newly created worktree.

Question 3

How does the Branch Manager protect important branches?

Accepted Answer

The skill includes critical rules that prevent creating branches named after protected branches or performing any operations that would modify them, checking against your specific configuration.

Question 4

What are the benefits of using worktree mode?

Accepted Answer

Worktree mode creates isolated directories for your branches, allowing you to run multiple workflows concurrently without file interference and enabling easy task resumption.

Question 5

Does it validate branch names before creation?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. It validates names against Git naming conventions, checks for invalid characters, and ensures the name doesn't conflict with existing or protected branches.
