create-worktree

Create and setup git worktrees for parallel development with automatic dependency installation.

• Purpose - Enable parallel branch development without stashing or context switching

• Output - New worktree with dependencies installed

/git:create-worktree <name> | --list

Arguments

• <name> - Descriptive name for the worktree (e.g., "refactor auth system", "fix login bug")

• --list - Show existing worktrees

How It Works

1. Type Detection: Auto-detects branch type from name (feature, fix, hotfix, refactor, etc.)

2. Branch Resolution: Creates or tracks existing local/remote branch

3. Worktree Creation: Creates sibling directory with pattern ../<project>-<name>

4. Dependency Installation: Detects project type and runs appropriate install command

Supported Project Types: Node.js (npm/yarn/pnpm/bun), Python (pip/poetry), Rust (cargo), Go, Ruby, PHP

Usage Examples

# Create feature worktree (default type)
> /git:create-worktree auth system
# Branch: feature/auth-system → ../myproject-auth-system

# Create fix worktree
> /git:create-worktree fix login error
# Branch: fix/login-error → ../myproject-login-error

# Create hotfix while feature work continues
> /git:create-worktree hotfix critical bug

# List existing worktrees
> /git:create-worktree --list
