git-worktree

SKILL.md

Git worktrees enable multiple working directories from a single repository. Each worktree has its own branch while sharing the same Git object database.

Core principle: Check worktree status, create worktree for parallel work, reference cleanup commands as needed.

Safety check: Ensure worktrees are either outside the repo or in .gitignore to avoid tracking them.

Use when you need to work on multiple branches simultaneously, run parallel Claude Code sessions, handle emergency hotfixes during feature work, review PRs without switching branches, or test across branches without losing current work Source: antjanus/skillbox.
