How does it handle dependency management?

Upon creating a worktree, the skill identifies your project's package manager (npm, yarn, pnpm, or bun) by looking for lockfiles and automatically runs the appropriate install command.

Why use worktrees instead of regular branches?

Worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out simultaneously in different directories. This lets you maintain separate build states and dependencies for each task, avoiding the need to stash or commit unfinished work just to switch context.

Is it safe to delete worktrees with this skill?

The skill includes built-in safety checks. Before removing a worktree, it verifies if there are uncommitted changes or unpushed commits and requires explicit user confirmation if data loss might occur.

Does this skill handle environment variables?

Yes, it automatically detects and copies critical environment files like .env, .nvmrc, and .npmrc to new worktrees to ensure the isolated environment is functional and ready for development immediately.

生产力与工作流

Automates the creation and management of isolated Git worktrees for efficient parallel feature development and context switching.

关于

This skill streamlines the Git worktree workflow by automating the setup of isolated working directories within a project. It handles the creation of the .worktrees/ directory, branch management, environment file synchronization (including .env and .nvmrc), and automatic dependency installation across various package managers. By providing a safe and guided process for context switching, it allows developers to work on multiple features or hotfixes simultaneously without the friction of stashing changes, checking out branches, or reinstalling packages in a single directory.

主要功能

Automated isolated worktree creation in dedicated .worktrees/ directory
Integrated branch management with automatic .gitignore updates
30 GitHub stars
Smart environment file synchronization for .env, .nvmrc, and .npmrc
Safety checks to prevent accidental loss of uncommitted or unpushed changes
Automatic dependency detection and installation for npm, yarn, pnpm, and bun

使用场景

Developing multiple features in parallel without frequent git stashing
Running side-by-side comparisons of different project versions with isolated node_modules
Executing urgent hotfixes while maintaining a complex local development state
