Git Workspace Initializer

About

This skill simplifies the process of starting new tasks by automatically setting up isolated git worktrees with standardized branch names. By leveraging conventional naming patterns like feat/, fix/, and refactor/, it ensures repository consistency while allowing developers to work on multiple branches simultaneously without the friction of stashing or switching contexts. It handles everything from workspace directory creation to remote tracking setup, making it ideal for maintaining a clean, organized development environment during complex feature work or urgent bug fixes.

Key Features

• Isolated workspace creation via Git worktrees in a dedicated .worktrees directory
• Automatic remote branch push and upstream tracking configuration
• Pre-configured support for common task types like feat, fix, hotfix, and refactor
• Filesystem-safe directory naming and branch sanitization
• 1 GitHub stars
• Conventional branch naming automation for standardized repository structures

Use Cases

• Starting a new feature or bug fix in an isolated environment without disturbing current work
• Managing multiple active branches simultaneously without the need for constant stashing
• Enforcing consistent naming conventions across a development team's local environment
