Claude-skill-registry git-worktrees

Work on multiple branches in parallel using git worktrees via the git-wt helper to avoid context switching or merge noise.

Core Model

One branch == one directory == one line of work
All worktrees share a single
```
.git
```
database
Each worktree is bound to its branch while it exists

Preferred Tooling

Use

git wt

(https://github.com/k1LoW/git-wt) as the default interface. It wraps

git worktree

with safer defaults and faster workflows.

Standard Setup

Optional, if you want worktrees stored in

.worktrees

mkdir -p .worktrees
git config wt.basedir .worktrees

Quick Start

git wt                       # list worktrees
git wt <branch|worktree>     # switch/create (creates branch and worktree if needed)
git wt --nocd <branch|worktree>
git wt -d <branch|worktree>  # safe delete (worktree + branch)
git wt -D <branch|worktree>  # force delete

Configuration

Use

git config

for defaults; override with flags when needed.

```
wt.basedir
```
/
```
--basedir
```
: base directory for worktrees (default
```
../{gitroot}-wt
```
)
```
wt.copyignored
```
/
```
--copyignored
```
: copy gitignored files on create
```
wt.copyuntracked
```
/
```
--copyuntracked
```
: copy untracked files on create
```
wt.copymodified
```
/
```
--copymodified
```
: copy modified tracked files on create
```
wt.nocopy
```
/
```
--nocopy
```
: exclude files from copying (gitignore syntax)
```
wt.copy
```
/
```
--copy
```
: always copy specific patterns even if ignored
```
wt.hook
```
/
```
--hook
```
: run commands after creating a new worktree
```
wt.nocd
```
/
```
--nocd
```
: prevent automatic directory switching

Shell Integration (PowerShell)

Invoke-Expression (git wt --init powershell | Out-String)

Cleanup

always check if there are uncommitted changes in a worktree before

removing its branch
deleting the local worktree folder

Use

git wt -d <branch|worktree>

for clean removals. If a worktree folder was deleted manually, run

git worktree prune

. Ask user what to do with those uncommitted changes.
