Can I use this for parallel feature development?

Yes, it is specifically designed to let you work on multiple features simultaneously in isolated directories without needing to stash or commit incomplete changes.

Why use this instead of standard git worktree commands?

This skill uses a wrapper script that automatically syncs environment variables and handles gitignore rules that standard commands often ignore, ensuring your dev environment is ready to run immediately.

How do I clean up finished worktrees?

You can use the 'cleanup' command to interactively list and remove inactive worktrees and their associated directories once your work is merged or discarded.

How does it handle environment variables?

The manager script automatically detects and copies .env, .env.local, and .env.test files from your main repository to any new worktrees you create.

Is it safe for my repository structure?

Yes, it stores worktrees in a dedicated .worktrees/ directory and automatically updates your .gitignore to prevent these temporary files from being committed.
