Git Worktree Management
Manage git worktrees using the bin/worktree script for parallel development workflows.
Available Commands
bash
bin/worktree list # Show all worktrees bin/worktree create <branch> # Create worktree for branch bin/worktree delete <branch> # Remove worktree bin/worktree go <branch> # Print path (for cd)
Naming Convention
Worktrees are created as sibling directories to the main repo. Slashes become dashes:
| Branch | Directory |
|---|---|
feature/auth | ../jolly-blitzen-feature-auth |
bugfix/login | ../jolly-blitzen-bugfix-login |
experiment/new-ui | ../jolly-blitzen-experiment-new-ui |
Instructions
When creating a worktree:
- •If user provides a branch name (contains
/), use it directly - •If user provides a task description, convert to
feature/<kebab-case-description> - •Run
bin/worktree create <branch> - •Tell the user the path and how to switch:
cd <path>
When listing worktrees:
Run bin/worktree list and present the results.
When deleting a worktree:
- •Confirm the branch name with the user if ambiguous
- •Run
bin/worktree delete <branch>
