SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Spawn an isolated git worktree for a feature branch so you can work on multiple features in parallel without switching branches. Each worktree gets its own directory with a full working copy.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create a dedicated worktree for a specified branch or for the current branch.
  • Automatically create and manage the .worktrees/ directory, updating .gitignore and avoiding duplicates.
  • Validate the target branch exists and ensure the worktree provides access to spec artifacts.

Quick Start

Provide the target branch name or say 'current' to create a worktree for the current branch.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an isolated git worktree for a feature branch?▼

To create an isolated git worktree, specify a target branch name and the tool generates a separate working directory with a full copy of the repository, allowing parallel development without switching branches.

Why use git worktrees for parallel feature development instead of switching branches?▼

Git worktrees provide isolated working directories for each feature branch, preventing context switching overhead and allowing you to run multiple feature streams simultaneously without stashing uncommitted changes.

Do I need a specific repository structure to spawn a git worktree?▼

Yes, spawning a git worktree requires a valid local git repository with a .specify directory. The tool automatically creates a .worktrees directory if missing and updates .gitignore to manage it.

Can I create a worktree for my current git branch?▼

Yes, you can create a worktree for the current git branch by specifying 'current' as the target, which generates an isolated working directory for your active development stream.

What happens if I try to create a duplicate git worktree for an existing branch?▼

The worktree creation process prevents duplicate worktrees for existing branches, ensuring each feature branch maps to a single isolated working directory and avoiding filesystem conflicts.

What are the limitations of managing feature branches with git worktrees?▼

Git worktree management requires Git installed locally and operates on repositories containing a .specify directory, meaning it does not support bare repositories or remote-only workflows lacking these local artifacts.
