--- description: Manage git worktrees for parallel feature development (create, remove, list, cleanup) --- # Git Worktree Manager Manage git worktrees for parallel feature development. ## Usage ``bash /worktree create <feature-name> [base-branch] /worktree remove <feature-name> [--force] [--delete-branch] /worktree list /worktree cleanup [--dry-run] [--remove-dirs] ` --- ## Commands ### create Create new worktree for parallel development. **What it does:** - Creates project-worktrees/ directory (if not exists) - Creates new branch feature/<name> from base - Creates worktree in separate directory - Copies gitignored files per .worktree-sync.json **Process:** 1. Validate feature name (alphanumeric, hyphens only) 2. Check for uncommitted changes (warn if present) 3. Create worktree: git worktree add ../project-worktrees/<name> -b feature/<name> <base> 4. Sync files from .worktree-sync.json: - sync.files: .env, .env.local, .mcp.json, etc. - sync.directories: .vscode - sync.patterns: packages/*/.env, services/*/.env 5. Output next steps (open in IDE, commit workflow) **Errors:** - Worktree exists: suggest different name or remove existing - Branch exists: checkout existing or use different name --- ### remove Remove worktree and optionally delete branch. **What it does:** - Checks for uncommitted changes - Removes worktree directory - Optionally deletes local and remote branch - Runs git worktree prune **Process:** 1. Find worktree by name 2. Check git status (if uncommitted changes, require --force or user choice) 3. Remove: git worktree remove [--force] <path> 4. If --delete-branch: - Check if merged: git branch --merged main | grep feature/<name> - Delete local: git branch -d/-D feature/<name> - Delete remote: git push origin --delete feature/<name> 5. Cleanup: git worktree prune **Errors:** - Not found: show available worktrees - Main worktree: cannot remove - Uncommitted changes: offer commit/force/cancel - Unmerged branch: warn, offer PR/force/keep-branch --- ### list Show all worktrees with status. **Output:** ` # Git Worktrees (N total) | Name | Branch | Path | Status | |------|--------|------|--------| | main (основной) | main | /path/to/your-project | Active | | feature-name | feature/feature-name | .../your-project-worktrees/feature-name | Active | Commands: /worktree create <name> | /worktree remove <name> ` **Process:** 1. Run git worktree list --porcelain 2. For each worktree: extract path, branch, HEAD, status (locked/prunable) 3. Format table with status indicators --- ### cleanup Clean up stale worktree files and orphaned directories. **What it does:** - Prunes administrative files for deleted worktrees - Repairs recoverable worktrees - Removes orphaned directories (with --remove-dirs) **Process:** 1. Dry-run check: git worktree prune --dry-run --verbose 2. Find orphaned dirs in project-worktrees/ not in git worktree list 3. Try repair: git worktree repair <path> 4. If not --dry-run: git worktree prune --verbose 5. If --remove-dirs: remove orphaned/empty directories **Output:** ` # Worktree Cleanup Report ✅ Pruned administrative records: N ✅ Removed directories: N (--remove-dirs) ✅ Recovered worktrees: N Active worktrees: N All valid: ✅ ` --- ## File Sync Config .worktree-sync.json format: `json { "sync": { "files": [".env", ".env.local", ".mcp.json"], "directories": [".vscode"], "patterns": ["packages/*/.env", "services/*/.env"] } } ` --- ## Notes - Worktrees share .git` → saves disk space - Each worktree must be on unique branch - Cannot checkout same branch in multiple worktrees - Main worktree cannot be removed - Use --dry-run with cleanup to preview changes
