Why should I use this skill instead of standard git worktree commands?

This skill automates critical setup steps that standard git commands miss, such as automatically copying your .env files to new worktrees and ensuring .worktree directories are correctly ignored by Git.

Can I use this for reviewing Pull Requests?

Absolutely. It is specifically designed to integrate with review workflows, allowing you to checkout and test PRs in an isolated directory without touching your active branch or stashing changes.

Does it handle environment variables?

Yes, the manager automatically detects and copies .env, .env.local, and .env.test files from your main repository to the new worktree to ensure your development environment is ready immediately.

How does this improve my workflow?

It allows for true parallel development. You can have multiple branches checked out in different directories simultaneously, enabling you to run, test, and edit different versions of your app at the same time.

Developer Tools

Streamlines parallel development by managing isolated Git worktrees with automatic environment synchronization and interactive cleanup.

About

The Git Worktree Manager skill provides a robust, interactive interface for handling Git worktrees within Claude Code, allowing developers to work on multiple features or review pull requests in complete isolation. By automating complex manual tasks—such as synchronizing .env files, managing .gitignore entries, and maintaining consistent directory structures—this skill eliminates the overhead of stashing changes or cloning multiple repositories, making context-switching seamless and error-free.

Key Features

0 GitHub stars
Seamless integration with code review and feature development workflows
Automatic .gitignore management to keep your main repository clean
Isolated parallel development via managed Git worktrees

Use Cases

Quickly switching to emergency hotfixes while maintaining local development state
Performing isolated code reviews without interrupting current work-in-progress
Developing multiple features simultaneously with independent environments
