How does this improve my development productivity?

It removes the manual, repetitive task of recreating directory paths and symlinks every time you create a new worktree, allowing you to start coding instantly.

What is the difference between data/shared and data/local?

The data/shared directory is a symlink to persistent data in the main repository, while data/local is a specific directory created for temporary files unique to that individual worktree.

Are there any prerequisites for using this skill?

Yes, you must first run the 'worktree-init' script in your main repository to prepare the underlying structure before using this setup skill in a new worktree.

When should I run the worktree-setup skill?

This skill should be executed immediately after adding a new Git worktree using the 'git worktree add' command to ensure the environment is ready for work.

Developer Tools

Automates the creation of standardized data directory structures and symlinks immediately following Git worktree creation.

The Worktree Setup skill streamlines the development workflow by automatically configuring essential directory structures in new Git worktrees. It creates a local storage area for transient data and establishes a symlink to shared data from the main repository, ensuring data integrity and consistency across multiple concurrent development branches. This eliminates manual setup steps and reduces errors when switching between different feature branches using Git's worktree feature.

Key Features

01Automatic provisioning of local directories for worktree-specific temporary files

02Automated symlink creation for persistent shared data access

03Seamless integration with existing git worktree workflows

040 GitHub stars

05Standardized environment configuration across all Git worktrees

06Ensures data protection by segregating local and shared assets

Use Cases

01Standardizing repository directory hierarchies for team-wide development

02Isolating local build artifacts or temporary data in multi-worktree environments

03Managing large datasets shared across multiple feature branches efficiently
