name: creating-git-worktree description: Creates isolated git worktree environments for parallel development. Fetches latest from default branch, creates worktree in .git-worktrees/, copies .env and .serena files. Branch '/' is converted to '-'. Use when starting new features or switching context.

Create Git Worktree Environment

Automate worktree creation with environment setup for parallel development workflows.

Quick Start

Execute the script with your branch name:

Copybash skills/creating-git-worktree/scripts/create-worktree.sh <branch-name>

Example:

Copybash skills/creating-git-worktree/scripts/create-worktree.sh feature/user-auth
# Creates: .git-worktrees/feature-user-auth

What the Script Does

1. Sync with remote: Checkout and pull default branch
2. Create worktree: In .git-worktrees/<branch-name> (new or existing branch)
3. Copy environment files: .env, .serena if they exist
4. Reuse existing: Skip creation if worktree already exists

Branch Name Handling

• / is converted to - for directory names
• feature/new-feature becomes .git-worktrees/feature-new-feature
