How do I remove a worktree when I am finished?

The skill provides a cleanup process using the 'git worktree remove' command, which safely deletes the directory and unregisters it from your main repository.

Why use Git worktrees instead of just switching branches?

Git worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out in different directories simultaneously. In Flutter, this is especially useful because it lets you keep separate build caches and dependencies for each branch without needing to re-run 'pub get' every time you switch.

Will using worktrees conflict with my IDE?

No. You can open each worktree as a separate workspace in VS Code or a separate project in Android Studio, allowing you to debug different branches at the same time.

Does this skill handle Flutter code generation?

Yes, the flutter-worktrees skill includes steps to run 'build_runner' for projects using packages like Freezed or JSON Serializable, ensuring your new workspace is fully compiled.

Mobile Development

Creates and manages isolated Git worktrees for parallel Flutter feature development and safe experimentation.

About

The flutter-worktrees skill enables Flutter developers to manage multiple active branches simultaneously through isolated Git worktrees. By creating independent workspaces for each feature or experiment, it prevents environment contamination and allows for parallel development. The skill goes beyond standard Git commands by handling Flutter-specific requirements like dependency fetching with 'pub get', project verification with 'flutter doctor', and code generation via 'build_runner', ensuring that every new workspace is immediately production-ready.

Key Features

Isolated workspace creation for safe feature experimentation
Streamlined cleanup process for merging or discarding feature work
1 GitHub stars
Automated Flutter environment setup including pub get and build_runner
Support for parallel development on multiple branches without context switching
Standardized naming conventions for organized directory structures

Use Cases

Developing new features in isolation to keep the main workspace stable
Running long-duration test suites in the background while continuing active development
Comparing different architectural implementations side-by-side in separate directories
