Where are the worktrees stored by default?

By default, worktrees are created in a parent directory named '../synaptic-canvas-worktrees' to keep your main project folder clean and focused.

Can I disable the tracking document?

Yes, the skill includes a toggle to disable the creation and maintenance of the tracking document for repositories that do not require centralized worktree logging.

Does this skill delete branches automatically?

The skill can delete branches locally and remotely after a worktree is merged, but it requires explicit user approval before performing any destructive actions or force-removals.

What is a Git worktree and why use this skill?

A Git worktree allows you to have multiple branches checked out at once in separate directories. This skill automates the management of these directories, ensuring they follow a standard structure and are tracked properly to avoid environment clutter.

Productivity & Workflow

Manages parallel Git worktrees and tracking documents to streamline multi-branch development and feature isolation.

About

The Git Worktree Manager skill provides a standardized framework for creating, scanning, and cleaning up Git worktrees, allowing developers to work on multiple branches simultaneously without context-switching in a single directory. It automates the setup of isolated environments, maintains a centralized tracking document for active worktrees, and utilizes specialized agents to ensure that merged or abandoned branches are safely cleaned up. This skill is essential for developers handling complex feature sets or urgent hotfixes who need to maintain a clean and organized repository structure while maximizing parallel productivity.
