worktree-manager

You can manage parallel git worktrees by using a centralized registry and automated port allocation scripts to isolate development environments and prevent cross-project conflicts. This solution tracks ports globally and handles worktree creation, configuration, and validation.

Automating git worktree lifecycle involves using a suite of scripts for registration, status monitoring, and cleanup stored in a global registry. This ensures consistent environment teardown and eliminates inconsistent setups when switching features.

Yes, you need jq, lsof, and uuidgen installed as dependencies to run automated git worktree environments with Claude. These tools handle JSON registry parsing, port allocation validation, and unique identifier generation for isolated worktrees.

Yes, you can launch dedicated Claude Code agents in isolated git worktrees automatically. The solution uses a launch-agent script to open dedicated terminals for each worktree, allowing you to run parallel development sessions without manual terminal setup.

Global port allocation works by using an allocate-ports script to track assigned ports in a centralized JSON registry. This prevents cross-project conflicts when running multiple isolated worktrees and their associated development servers simultaneously.

You should avoid using a centralized registry for git worktree management if you are working on a single repository without parallel branches or if your environment lacks the required jq, lsof, and uuidgen dependencies needed for port allocation and validation.
