Git Worktree Manager

About

The Git Worktree Manager skill empowers Claude to efficiently handle multiple development contexts simultaneously by leveraging Git's native worktree feature. It provides a standardized, automated workflow for creating isolated workspaces, managing branch transitions, and maintaining a clean environment through proactive cleanup. This skill is essential for developers who need to jump between feature development, emergency hotfixes, and code reviews without the friction of stashing changes or the risk of workspace contamination.

Key Features

• Automated cleanup of stale worktrees older than seven days
• Safe removal protocols to prevent shell environment failures
• 4 GitHub stars
• Seamless branch merging and deletion after task completion
• Isolated workspace creation with unique branch and timestamp management
• Configurable storage locations via CLAUDE.md (sibling or internal directories)

Use Cases

• Running long-duration tests or builds in the background without blocking development
• Working on high-priority hotfixes while keeping ongoing feature work intact
• Reviewing multiple pull requests in dedicated environments simultaneously
