Global Worktree Manager FAQs

Question 1

Does it work with different package managers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the manager includes logic to detect common package managers (npm, uv, etc.) and can be configured to run the appropriate installation commands for each environment.

Question 2

How does the worktree-manager benefit my Claude Code workflow?

Accepted Answer

It allows Claude to work on multiple branches at once in separate folders, meaning you don't have to wait for one task to finish before starting another, and you never have to worry about 'dirty' git states.

Question 3

Can I use this skill manually if the scripts fail?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the skill is designed with a 'manual-first' philosophy. All registry updates and git operations can be performed using standard tools like jq, git, and bash as described in the documentation.

Question 4

How does it handle port conflicts for parallel web servers?

Accepted Answer

The skill manages a global port pool (default 8100-8199) and assigns unique ports to each worktree, tracking them in a global registry to ensure no two agents try to use the same port.

Question 5

Where are the git worktrees stored?

Accepted Answer

All worktrees are centrally managed in '~/tmp/worktrees/', organized by project name and branch slug for easy access and cleanup.
