How does this skill handle port conflicts?

The skill automatically calculates and assigns unique port offsets for each worktree, ensuring that local servers and databases do not collide.

What is a git worktree?

A git worktree allows you to have multiple branches checked out at the same time in different directories within the same repository, sharing the same local history.

Where are the new worktrees stored?

By default, this skill organizes and creates your new worktrees within a 'trees/' directory inside your project root.

Can I specify a custom port offset?

Yes, you can optionally provide a specific port offset number when invoking the skill if you need manual control over the network configuration.

Deployment & DevOps

Automates the creation of isolated Git worktrees with pre-configured ports and environment settings for parallel development.

This skill streamlines multi-tasking by setting up fully isolated Git worktrees. It goes beyond simple branch switching by automatically configuring unique port offsets, environment files, and database instances for each branch, allowing you to run multiple versions of your application simultaneously without resource conflicts. It is an essential tool for developers who need to jump between feature development, bug fixes, and code reviews while maintaining running instances of each environment in a predictable, automated way.
