SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manage parallel git worktrees for isolated feature development, code review, and hotfix workflows. This tool routes all git operations through a manager protocol that ensures .env copying, port isolation, and dependency drift detection, preventing cross-branch pollution and accidental commits to the wrong branch.

Core Features & Use Cases

Create isolated worktrees for feature branches, review sessions, and hotfix testing.
Copy environment files and manage per-worktree ports to avoid conflicts.
Detect and mitigate dependency drift between worktrees to maintain consistent environments.

Quick Start

Create a new worktree for a specific branch using the defined naming convention, copy environment files, assign a unique port, and verify readiness before proceeding.

FAQPage Schema

How do I manage parallel git worktrees without cross-branch pollution?▼

Managing parallel git worktrees without cross-branch pollution requires a routing protocol that isolates feature branches, copies environment files, and enforces port isolation to prevent accidental commits to the wrong branch.

What is the best way to review a PR while continuing work on a feature branch?▼

The best way to review a PR while continuing work on a feature branch is creating isolated git worktrees for side-by-side testing, allowing long-running tasks to run in a separate environment without interrupting your primary workflow.

How do I prevent port conflicts when running multiple git branches simultaneously?▼

To prevent port conflicts when running multiple git branches simultaneously, assign unique per-worktree ports through a manager protocol that isolates environments, ensuring side-by-side testing of different branches does not trigger local server collisions.

How does dependency drift detection work across multiple git worktrees?▼

Dependency drift detection across multiple git worktrees works by verifying environment consistency through a manager protocol, identifying and mitigating package version mismatches before they cause failures during isolated feature development or hotfix testing.

Do I need to manually copy .env files when creating a new git worktree?▼

You do not need to manually copy .env files when creating a new git worktree if your workflow uses a manager protocol, which automatically handles environment file copying to maintain consistent local configurations across isolated branches.

When should I use git worktrees instead of standard git branching?▼

You should use git worktrees instead of standard git branching when you need side-by-side testing of multiple branches, such as running long-running tasks in a separate environment or reviewing PRs while continuing feature development simultaneously.
