What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the management of Git worktrees, allowing developers to isolate parallel development tasks without the complexity of manual Git commands.

Core Features & Use Cases

Create Worktrees: Easily create new worktrees from a specified branch, automatically copying environment files.
List & Switch: View all active worktrees and seamlessly switch between them.
Cleanup: Safely remove completed worktrees.
Use Case: When working on a new feature, create a dedicated worktree to avoid disrupting your main development branch. Later, switch to another worktree for a quick bug fix, then return to your feature work.

Quick Start

Use the git-worktree skill to create a new worktree for the branch named 'feature-login'.
