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

This skill automates critical safety steps like .gitignore verification and baseline test runs that prevent accidental commits of worktree data and ensure your environment is functional before you start coding.

What happens if the baseline tests fail during setup?

The skill will immediately report the specific test failures and prompt you to decide whether to investigate the issues or proceed with implementation.

Which languages are supported for automatic setup?

The skill automatically detects and configures environments for Node.js (npm), Rust (cargo), Python (pip/pyproject), and Go (go mod).

Does this skill modify my global Git configuration?

No, it focuses on project-specific worktree creation and local environment management within your specified project or global worktree directory.

Developer Tools

Automates the creation and verification of isolated Git worktrees for safe, parallel feature development.

About

This skill streamlines the process of managing Git worktrees by providing a systematic approach to directory selection and workspace isolation. It ensures project safety by automatically verifying .gitignore configurations before creation, preventing accidental commits of worktree contents. Furthermore, it automates project setup—detecting dependencies for various languages like Node.js, Rust, and Python—and validates the environment with baseline test execution to ensure a clean starting point for new features or bug fixes.

Key Features

Automatic .gitignore verification and safety commits to prevent leaks
Context-aware project detection and branch initialization
Intelligent directory selection using local preferences or global defaults
Baseline test verification to ensure a clean workspace state
Language-agnostic project setup for NPM, Cargo, Pip, and Go
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Managing parallel feature branches without losing context in your main directory
Running long-duration tests or builds in an isolated workspace while continuing development
Setting up a fresh, verified environment for peer code reviews or urgent hotfixes
