Git Worktree Manager FAQs

Question 1

How does the skill handle worktree directory locations?

Accepted Answer

The skill follows a priority order: it first looks for existing .worktrees or worktrees directories, then checks for preferences in CLAUDE.md, and finally asks the user to choose between a project-local hidden folder or a global configuration path.

Question 2

What happens if baseline tests fail in a new worktree?

Accepted Answer

If the automated baseline tests fail, the skill will pause, report the failures to you, and ask for explicit permission before proceeding with the implementation to ensure you aren't building on broken code.

Question 3

Does this skill ensure my worktree files aren't tracked by Git?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for project-local worktrees, the skill executes a 'git check-ignore' command. If the directory is not ignored, it automatically updates your .gitignore and commits the change before proceeding.

Question 4

What is the benefit of using Git worktrees with Claude?

Accepted Answer

Git worktrees allow Claude to work on multiple branches simultaneously in separate directories. This eliminates the need to stash changes or perform frequent branch switches, reducing the risk of merge conflicts and context loss.
