Why should I use worktrees instead of git stash?

Worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out simultaneously in different directories. This lets you run, test, and compare different versions of your code at the same time, which is not possible with stashing.

Where are the new worktrees stored?

Worktrees are stored in a hidden `.worktrees/` directory within your repository, which the skill automatically adds to your .gitignore to prevent accidental commits.

How do I remove worktrees when I'm finished?

You can use the 'cleanup' or 'clean' command within the skill to list and safely remove inactive worktrees while preserving your main repository.

Does this skill handle my environment variables?

Yes, the manager script automatically copies all .env files from your main repository to the newly created worktree to ensure your environment remains consistent.

开发者工具

Manages isolated Git worktrees for parallel feature development and safe PR reviews without branch switching or stashing.

The Git Worktree Manager simplifies the process of working on multiple branches simultaneously by automating the creation and maintenance of independent working directories. It ensures a consistent environment by automatically syncing .env files and managing .gitignore rules, allowing developers to switch between feature work and code reviews instantly without the risk of losing uncommitted changes. This tool is especially powerful when integrated with Claude's automated workflows, providing a safe and opinionated interface that prevents common Git errors while keeping your workspace clean.
