FAQPage Schema

How do I use git worktree for parallel feature development?▼

Git worktree creates isolated working directories so you can develop multiple branches in parallel without polluting the main working tree. This skill provides commands to add, remove, and list worktrees for organized development.

How do I manage multiple git branches simultaneously without switching?▼

Managing multiple git branches simultaneously requires isolated directories provided by git worktree. You can create a new worktree with a base branch to keep parallel features separate and avoid constant branch switching.

Can I use task-aware naming for git worktree directories?▼

Yes, git worktree supports task-aware naming using the phase-XX/task-YY-description format. This ensures your isolated working directories remain organized and traceable during parallel development.

What is the best way to view the status of all git worktrees?▼

Viewing git worktree status is done using the dedicated status command, which displays detailed paths and states. This provides a safe overview of all active isolated working directories.

Do I need any dependencies to manage git worktrees via Bash?▼

No external dependencies are required to manage git worktrees via Bash. The skill uses standard git worktree operations available within your existing git installation to handle parallel features.
