Notre avis

Gère les worktrees Git avec l'outil gwt pour travailler simultanément sur plusieurs branches.

Points forts

Bascule automatique entre les répertoires de travail
Stockage centralisé des worktrees dans ~/.gwt_store
Création automatique des worktrees lors du changement de branche
Détection intelligente des branches distantes

Limites

Nécessite que gwt soit installé sur le système
Peut nécessiter un apprentissage du concept de worktree
Ne fonctionne que si le dépôt est compatible avec la configuration de gwt

Quand l'utiliser

Utilisez gwt lorsque vous travaillez sur plusieurs branches en parallèle, pour des revues de code, des tests ou des expérimentations sans interférence.

Quand l'éviter

Évitez gwt si vous ne travaillez que sur une seule branche ou si vous préférez les commandes git natives.

Exemples

Switch to a feature branch

Switch to branch 'feature/new-login' using gwt, creating a worktree if it doesn't exist.

List all worktrees

List all my git worktrees with truncated branch names.

Clean up after merge

Remove the worktree for branch 'feature/old-ui' and delete the branch since it's been merged.

name: gwt description: Manage git worktrees using gwt for branch-based workflow. Use when switching branches, creating worktrees, listing worktrees, or cleaning up after merging PRs.

GWT Worktree Management Skill

You have access to gwt, a Git worktree management tool that simplifies working with multiple branches simultaneously. Use gwt instead of raw git worktree commands for a streamlined workflow.

Available Commands

Switch to a Branch Worktree

gwt sw <branch>           # Switch to existing branch (creates worktree if needed)
gwt sw -b <branch>        # Create new branch and switch to it
gwt sw -m                 # Switch to main/master branch
gwt sw <branch> --remote <remote>  # Switch to branch from specific remote

List Worktrees

gwt ls                    # List all worktrees (truncated branch names)
gwt ls --full             # List with full branch names

Remove Worktrees

gwt rm <branch>           # Remove worktree for branch (prompts for confirmation)
gwt rm <branch> -y        # Remove without confirmation
gwt rm <branch> -b        # Remove worktree and delete the branch
gwt rm <branch> -B        # Remove worktree and force-delete branch
gwt rm --this             # Remove current worktree (switches to home first)

Navigation

gwt home                  # Return to the main repository worktree
gwt current               # Show current branch and worktree path (alias: gwt c)

Workflow Patterns

Starting Work on a Feature

Use gwt sw -b feature/name to create a new branch and worktree
Work on the feature in the isolated worktree
The original repository remains on its branch

Switching Between Tasks

Use gwt sw other-branch to switch to another worktree
No need to stash changes - each worktree is independent
Use gwt ls to see all available worktrees

Cleaning Up After PR Merge

Use gwt home to return to main repository
Use gwt rm feature/name -b to remove worktree and delete merged branch
Or use gwt rm --this -b if still in the feature worktree

Checking Current Location

Use gwt current to see which branch and worktree you're in.

Key Benefits

Automatic directory switching: gwt changes your shell's working directory automatically
Centralized storage: Worktrees are stored in ~/.gwt_store, keeping repos clean
Just-in-time creation: Worktrees are created automatically when switching to new branches
Smart remote lookup: Automatically finds and tracks remote branches

When to Use gwt

Switching between branches for code review or testing
Working on multiple features in parallel
Isolating experimental changes without affecting main work
Quick context switching without stashing changes
