SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the context-switching bottleneck in git development by enabling a bare + worktree repository structure, allowing you to work on multiple branches simultaneously in separate directories without stashing or checking out.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel Development: Manage multiple feature branches as independent directories, keeping your main branch clean and ready for updates.
  • Automated Syncing: Perform bulk rebasing and synchronization across all active worktrees to keep your local environment up-to-date with the remote.
  • Repository Migration: Easily convert standard git clones into the more efficient bare + worktree layout.

Quick Start

Use the tool-worktree skill to add a new worktree for the feature branch named login-fix.
