Git Worktree Manager

About

This skill streamlines the process of setting up isolated workspaces for feature development by leveraging git worktrees. It automatically handles directory selection based on project conventions, ensures safety by verifying .gitignore patterns, and prepares the environment by installing dependencies and running baseline tests. By creating a dedicated space for new implementations, it prevents workspace pollution and allows for seamless task switching while maintaining a clean, test-verified starting point for every feature.

Key Features

• Standardized workflow for transitioning from design to implementation
• Automated .gitignore verification to prevent accidental commits of worktree content
• Intelligent project setup with auto-detection for major languages and frameworks
• Baseline test execution to ensure a clean starting state for new features
• 10,553 GitHub stars
• Smart directory selection logic based on project history and configuration

Use Cases

• Setting up a clean environment before executing complex implementation plans
• Starting new feature work that needs isolation from the current workspace
• Managing multiple active branches simultaneously without switching contexts
