Worktree Lifecycle

Automate git worktree creation using the /create_worktree command with your feature branch name. The Skill provisions isolated environments, automatically calculates ports to avoid conflicts, and handles environment setup and service startup for each worktree, eliminating manual steps across multiple branches.

Port conflicts are prevented through automatic port allocation derived from a base port. The Skill calculates unique ports for each worktree, with optional offsets via /create_worktree feature/branch-name offset-number, ensuring isolated environments without manual port management.

The Skill manages the full lifecycle: create worktrees with /create_worktree, list active worktrees with /list_worktrees, start or stop services within each environment, and remove worktrees cleanly with /remove_worktree when development completes, automating cleanup and resource deprovisioning.

Create isolated worktrees for each feature branch using /create_worktree feature/branch-name. Each worktree receives auto-allocated ports, independent service instances, and environment isolation, allowing developers to work on parallel branches without interfering with shared ports or dependencies.

Yes, the Skill integrates into DevOps automation pipelines through scriptable worktree commands and lifecycle control. Automated port isolation and service management support continuous integration environments where multiple isolated builds or test runs execute concurrently on the same machine.

The /remove_worktree command executes full cleanup: services are stopped, ports are released, and the worktree directory is removed. Automatic cleanup eliminates manual deprovisioning steps and prevents orphaned processes or port binding conflicts from accumulated worktrees.
