Frequently Asked Questions about git-worktrees

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use git worktrees to isolate development tasks from my main branch?▼

Git worktrees create isolated directories linked to your main repository, allowing you to run planned tasks without polluting the main branch. This Skill automates worktree creation and branch management for safe experimentation.

What is the best way to manage multiple git branches for separate Linear issues?▼

The best way to manage multiple issues is creating an isolated git worktree per Linear issue, with a branch named after the issue ID. This keeps each task isolated and prevents branch conflicts in your dev environment.

Can I validate Linear issue IDs when creating a git worktree?▼

Yes, this Skill validates Linear issue IDs during worktree creation and provides safe fallbacks when tooling is unavailable. This ensures your branch management remains accurate even if issue tracking connectivity fails.

How do I clean up git worktrees after shipping or abandoning a task?▼

You clean up git worktrees by applying ship or abandon rules that support baseline reporting and directory cleanup. This keeps your repository clean and removes isolated branches once the planned task is complete.

Do I need additional dependencies to run isolated git worktrees for branch management?▼

No additional dependencies are required to run isolated git worktrees for branch management. The Skill operates independently to handle worktree creation, issue ID validation, and cleanup per your ship or abandon flows.
