How does this skill handle .gitignore?

It automatically checks if the worktree directory is ignored. If not, it adds the path to .gitignore and commits the change to prevent tracking worktree files.

Why does it run tests after creating the worktree?

It runs a baseline test suite to ensure the environment is stable before you start coding, helping you distinguish between pre-existing issues and new bugs.

Can I customize where worktrees are stored?

Yes, the skill follows a priority order: it checks for existing directories, looks for preferences in CLAUDE.md, or asks for your preference between local or global storage.

Does it install my project dependencies automatically?

Yes, it auto-detects package managers for Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go, and runs the appropriate install commands once the worktree is created.

What is a Git worktree?

A Git worktree allows you to have multiple branches checked out at the same time in separate directories, all sharing the same repository history and metadata.

Developer Tools

Automates the creation of isolated Git worktrees with smart directory selection, safety checks, and environment setup.

This skill streamlines the process of working on multiple Git branches simultaneously by managing isolated worktrees. It intelligently selects workspace directories (checking for hidden folders or configuration files), ensures the worktree is properly ignored by Git to prevent repository pollution, and automatically handles dependency installation and baseline test verification. It is essential for developers who need to switch between feature work, bug fixes, or code reviews without disrupting their current workspace or losing uncommitted changes.

Key Features

01Baseline test execution to ensure a clean starting state before development

02Automated .gitignore verification and correction to prevent accidental commits

03Multi-language dependency installation support for Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go

04Integrated branch creation and automated workspace navigation

05Smart directory discovery via .worktrees, local folders, or CLAUDE.md configuration

060 GitHub stars

Use Cases

01Starting a new feature while maintaining a long-running local development environment

02Reviewing a pull request in a separate, isolated workspace without stashing

03Fixing a critical bug on a different branch without disrupting current progress
