git-worktree-manager

Git worktrees isolate parallel feature development by creating separate working directories for concurrent branches. This skill standardizes branch isolation, assigns deterministic ports per worktree, and synchronizes environment files to prevent cross-branch contamination.

To prevent port conflicts during parallel development, this skill auto-allocates non-conflicting ports per worktree and persists assignments in a .worktree-ports.json file. This ensures multiple concurrent branches run simultaneously without port collisions.

Yes, you can sync environment files across multiple git worktrees automatically. The skill copies local environment files, such as .env configurations, from the main repository directly into new worktrees during creation to ensure consistent local development setups.

The best way to clean up stale git worktrees is through safe removal checks that detect outdated or dirty directories after a branch merge. This skill identifies these worktrees and safely removes them to keep multi-branch local development productive.

Yes, this worktree manager optionally installs dependencies for new isolated branches automatically. It detects project lockfiles during worktree creation and runs the appropriate installation commands to prepare the environment for immediate development.

Yes, you can use git worktrees for multi-agent workflows where each agent owns a separate branch. This skill is designed specifically for multi-agent environments, providing deterministic port allocation and environment syncing for each concurrent agent.
