SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of creating isolated Git worktrees for developing individual epics, preventing conflicts and enabling parallel development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Isolated Development: Creates dedicated Git worktrees for each epic.
  • Automated Setup: Includes basic project setup and baseline testing.
  • Epic Tracking: Generates a specific .arcforge-epic file for seamless integration with the arcforge pipeline.
  • Use Case: When working on multiple large features (epics) simultaneously, use this skill to ensure each epic has its own clean, isolated environment, managed by the arcforge workflow.

Quick Start

Use the arc-using-worktrees skill to create a git worktree for the 'new-user-profile' epic.

FAQPage Schema
How do I isolate epic development in git worktrees to prevent branch conflicts?

You can isolate epic development in git worktrees by creating dedicated branches and separate working directories. This prevents conflicts and enables parallel development of multiple large features simultaneously within a clean environment.

What is a git worktree and when do I need it for epic pipeline integration?

A git worktree is a separate working directory linked to a specific branch. You need it for epic pipeline integration when developing multiple large features simultaneously, ensuring each epic has its own isolated environment tracked by a specific file.

Does the arcforge pipeline require a specific tracking file for isolated worktrees?

Yes, the arcforge pipeline requires a specific `.arcforge-epic` tracking file for isolated worktrees. This file ensures seamless integration with the arcforge workflow and manages worktree creation, branch naming, and project setup.

What is the best way to manage parallel epic development without branch conflicts?

The best way to manage parallel epic development is using isolated git worktrees for each epic. This approach includes automated project setup, baseline testing, and epic tracking to ensure a clean, conflict-free development environment.

Does worktree creation for epics include baseline testing and project setup?

Yes, worktree creation for epics includes basic project setup and baseline testing. It manages branch naming and generates a specific tracking file, ensuring the isolated environment is fully configured for development.
