What is a Git worktree?

A Git worktree allows you to have multiple branches of the same repository checked out in different directories simultaneously, sharing the same local history.

Does this skill help with repository cleanup?

Yes, it includes patterns for listing active worktrees and removing them safely once your feature or fix has been merged.

Is this skill compatible with standard Git repositories?

Yes, it works with any standard Git repository and follows official Git best practices for worktree management.

How do I create a new worktree with this skill?

You can instruct Claude to add a worktree using the command 'git worktree add -b ', which creates a new directory and branch for your task.

Why should I use worktrees instead of git stash?

Worktrees allow you to keep your current work exactly as it is without the risk of stash conflicts, enabling you to run, test, and edit multiple branches at the same time.
