How does it handle remote branches?

It creates a local tracking branch named worktree-branch- to ensure isolation from your main working tree's state.

Is it possible to clean up worktrees automatically?

Yes, the skill provides a dedicated cleanup script that safely removes the worktree directory and its associated Git metadata.

Does this skill support Visual Studio Code?

Yes, the skill includes auto-detection and command-line support for launching VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and the Claude CLI within the new worktree.

What is the benefit of using git-worktree over git checkout?

Git worktree allows you to have multiple branches checked out simultaneously in different directories, preventing the need to stash or commit unfinished work when switching contexts.

Can I use this on Windows?

Yes, the skill is compatible with Windows environments when executed through Git Bash.

开发者工具

Manages isolated Git worktrees for seamless context switching during code reviews and multi-branch development.

关于

The Git Worktree skill enables developers to create isolated environments for reviewing pull requests, branches, tags, or specific commits without disrupting their current working directory. By automating the setup and cleanup process, it intelligently handles branch naming conventions and provides built-in integration for popular IDEs like VS Code and JetBrains. This skill is essential for high-velocity development, allowing users to jump between tasks without the need to stash changes or perform messy checkouts.
