git-worktree

Git worktrees provide isolated environments for parallel development, allowing you to work on multiple branches simultaneously. This skill automates worktree creation, switching, and cleanup while copying environment files like .env to ensure your variables persist across branches.

Yes, you can review a pull request by creating an isolated worktree for the PR branch. This skill automatically copies your environment files into the new worktree, allowing you to test the code with all necessary variables without stashing or disrupting your current work.
