FAQPage Schema
How do I manage multiple Git worktrees for parallel development?▼

Git worktrees enable parallel development by creating isolated branch directories from a single repository. This skill automates worktree creation, listing, switching, and cleanup with interactive prompts, letting you work on multiple features concurrently without branch conflicts.

Can I automatically copy environment files when creating a new worktree?▼

Yes. This skill copies environment files from your main repository into new worktrees automatically, ensuring each isolated workspace has the configuration it needs without manual setup.

How do I keep my repository clean when switching between worktrees?▼

The skill manages .gitignore automatically for the .worktrees directory and provides interactive cleanup functionality to remove inactive worktrees, keeping your repository organized as you work across multiple branches.

What's the best way to work on multiple features in Git without stashing branches?▼

Git worktrees let you check out multiple branches simultaneously in separate directories. This skill provides a simple manager interface to create, list, and switch between worktrees, eliminating the need to stash work when context-switching.

Do I need special setup to use Git worktrees with my existing workflow?▼

No. This skill requires only Git as a dependency and works with a single Bash script interface. It integrates directly with your repository, handling environment file copying and .gitignore updates automatically.
