Git Worktrees
Sets up and manages git worktrees so Claude can run parallel coding sessions safely.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
You could create separate branches and switch between them, but that means your working directory changes each time. You might also use stashing to save your work temporarily. With git, you can usually handle multiple branches by committing your changes before switching. The downside is managing context in your head and avoiding mistakes. Would you want to use a separate clone of the repo to work in parallel?
GIT WORKTREES SETUP COMMAND SEQUENCE • git worktree add ../fix-auth-bug origin/main • git worktree add ../dashboard-redesign origin/develop RESULT: Two isolated directories, same repo ~/agentvolt (main) ~/agentvolt-fix-auth-bug (main base, clean) ~/agentvolt-dashboard-redesign (develop base, clean) EACH WORKTREE • Separate .git/index (no conflicts) • Separate node_modules (can install different versions) • Independent git status, commits, branches • Share .git/objects (efficient storage) WORKFLOW 1. Session A: cd ../fix-auth-bug; make changes; git add/commit 2. Session B: cd ../agentvolt-dashboard-redesign; parallel work 3. Push both to their branches independently 4. Cleanup after merge: git worktree remove ../fix-auth-bug AVOID • Don't check out same branch in two worktrees (git will error) • Don't share unstaged changes between them BENEFIT: Two full Claude Code sessions in parallel, true isolation, no context switching tax
About this skill
name: git-worktrees description: Use when Sets up and manages git worktrees so Claude can run parallel coding sessions safely.
Git Worktrees
Git Worktrees, from the skill collection, teaches Claude how to create and manage git worktrees, letting you run multiple Claude Code sessions on the same repo in parallel without branches colliding.
What you get
- Worktree setup, cleanup, and parallel-session management commands.
Customize your output
- Adjust the branch naming convention or worktree cleanup rules.
Example output
Multiple isolated working directories ready for parallel AI coding sessions.
Best for
Developers running several Claude Code sessions on one codebase at once.
