What is Twig and how does it help with Git?

Twig is a CLI tool that automates complex Git worktree operations, making it easier to work on multiple branches simultaneously without the overhead of manual directory and branch setup.

What is the difference between --carry and --sync in Twig?

The --carry flag moves uncommitted changes from your current branch to a new worktree, cleaning the source. The --sync flag copies those changes so they exist in both locations.

Can I use Twig to clean up my workspace after merging?

Yes, the 'twig clean' command identifies worktrees associated with branches that have already been merged and prompts you to remove them safely.

Does this skill only work with the Twig CLI?

While it focuses on Twig commands, it is designed to provide guidance for any Git worktree-related operations and parallel branch workflows within Claude.

Developer Tools

Simplifies Git worktree workflows by automating branch creation, symlink management, and uncommitted change migrations.

About

The Twig Guide skill provides specialized instructions for using the Twig CLI to optimize parallel development within Claude. It helps developers manage multiple Git branches simultaneously by automating worktree setup, handling symlinks, and providing advanced options to carry or sync uncommitted changes between workspaces. This skill is ideal for switching contexts without stashing, isolating experimental features in separate directories, and maintaining a clean repository through automated cleanup of merged branches.

Key Features

Automated worktree creation with integrated symlink support
Granular change migration using specific file-level filtering
Carry mode to move uncommitted changes to new branches instantly
Intelligent cleanup of merged or obsolete branches and worktrees
3 GitHub stars
Sync mode to copy uncommitted changes across parallel worktrees

Use Cases

Switching contexts for urgent bug fixes without stashing or losing current progress
Moving uncommitted experimental code to a new branch for formal development
Developing and testing multiple features in parallel isolated environments
