git-worktree

Git worktrees let you create separate directory instances of your repository, each checked out to a different branch. This eliminates context switching and stashing; you work on multiple branches simultaneously in isolated directories.

Use `git worktree add ../myproject-feature-x origin/feature-x` to create a new worktree linked to a remote branch. The command generates a sibling directory outside your main repository with the naming convention project-branch.

Yes. Git worktrees support creating worktrees from new branches, local branches, or remote branches. The Skill handles branch availability validation and creates the appropriate branch context when you add a worktree.

The Skill lists all active worktrees with their paths, associated branches, HEAD commit hashes, and current status. This gives you visibility into all parallel development contexts at a glance.

The Skill provides ready-to-run navigation commands that let you switch context between worktrees. You get explicit commands to move between your parallel development directories without manual path management.

The Skill removes unused worktrees cleanly, freeing up disk space and keeping your parallel development environment organized. Deletion includes proper cleanup of the associated directory and worktree metadata.
