Does it help with cleaning up old worktrees?

Yes, it includes a cleanup command that identifies and removes worktrees belonging to branches that have already been merged or deleted on the remote server.

Can I use this for existing worktrees?

Yes, you can use the copy-env command to sync environment files to existing worktrees that were created before you started using this skill.

What is the benefit of using git worktrees over standard branching?

Git worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out at the same time in different directories, meaning you can run different versions of your app simultaneously without stashing or switching back and forth in a single folder.

How does this skill handle environment variables?

The skill automatically copies .env files from your main repository to new worktrees during creation, ensuring your local environment configuration is preserved across all active branches.

Where are the worktrees stored?

To keep your project root clean, all worktrees are stored in a dedicated .worktrees/ folder which the skill automatically adds to your .gitignore file.

Developer Tools

Streamlines parallel development by managing isolated git worktrees with automatic environment file synchronization.

The Git Worktree Manager skill provides a high-level interface for managing multiple git worktrees, allowing you to work on several branches simultaneously without the friction of constant stashing or context switching. It enhances standard git functionality by automatically copying .env files to new worktrees, centralizing storage within a managed .worktrees/ directory, and providing automated cleanup tools for merged or stale branches. This ensures that every feature branch has a consistent, isolated, and ready-to-use environment from the moment it is created.

Key Features
