Git Worktree Manager

Git worktree management automates the creation of isolated development environments for parallel branch development. It standardizes setup by synchronizing environment files and assigning deterministic, non-conflicting ports per worktree to prevent service collisions.

To copy .env files to a new Git worktree automatically, the environment synchronization feature replicates .env* files from the main repository into the new worktree during creation. This ensures each isolated branch has the correct configuration.

Yes, you can automatically install project dependencies when creating a Git worktree. The setup process detects lockfiles in the repository and optionally installs dependencies to prepare the isolated development environment immediately.

Yes, Git worktree management requires Git command-line tools for repository operations. You must have Git installed in your environment to execute the branch creation, isolation, and cleanup processes required for parallel development.

The best way to clean up stale or merged Git worktrees safely is to use a management tool with built-in safety checks. It identifies clean, merged, and stale worktrees, allowing optional removal to prevent accidental data loss.
