What problem does it solve? Checking out an entire large monorepo just to work on one sub-area wastes disk space and time. This Skill creates a git worktree that materializes only the folders you need (e.g. WebApi plus its tests and docs) using cone-mode sparse-checkout, while keeping full git functionality like history, commit, and push. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Sparse worktree creation: Runs a PowerShell engine script that adds a worktree with --no-checkout, configures cone-mode sparse-checkout for named folders, and populates only those directories. - Auto-detection of changed folders: When folders are omitted, it diffs the branch against a base branch (default origin/dev) over the merge-base to find changed top-level directories. - Version verification: Greps AssemblyVersion and <Version> stamps under the materialized folders and warns when none match the expected release version. - Use Case: Pull only the WebApi, WebApiDocs, and test folders of a 2 GB solution into a separate folder like MyApp_1.2.3_webapi to verify a release line, reducing the checkout to a few megabytes. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a sparse worktree of your branch containing only the WebApi and test folders into a new destination folder, and verify it is stamped with the expected version.
