Git Worktrees Manager

Who Is This For?

Software developers and engineering teams who regularly work with Git repositories and need to manage multiple working copies of their codebase simultaneously. This skill is particularly valuable for developers who frequently context-switch between different features, bug fixes, or versions while wanting to maintain a clean and organized workspace.

What Does It Do?

Git Worktrees Manager creates and manages separate working directories for different branches of your Git repository, allowing you to work on multiple features simultaneously without stashing or switching branches in a single directory. It intelligently selects appropriate locations for new worktrees while implementing safety checks to prevent accidental overwrites or conflicts. The skill handles the complexities of Git worktree creation and maintenance, including proper reference management and directory structure organization.

When Should You Use This?

Use this skill when you need to simultaneously work on multiple branches of your project, such as when juggling urgent bug fixes alongside ongoing feature development. It's especially useful during code review processes where you need to compare different versions side by side, or when you're maintaining multiple release versions of your software that require frequent attention and switching between contexts.
