# Git Worktrees Reference

Complete reference for git worktree concepts and commands: create, manage, list, move, lock, and remove operations with practical examples

What is it?
Git worktrees enable checking out multiple branches simultaneously in separate directories, all sharing the same repository. Create a worktree instead of stashing changes or cloning separately.

Core principle: One worktree per active branch. Switch contexts by changing directories, not branches.

## How to use it?
Install this skill in your Claude environment to enhance git worktrees reference capabilities. Once installed, Claude will automatically apply the skill's guidelines when relevant tasks are detected. You can also explicitly invoke it by referencing its name in your prompts.

The full source and documentation is available on GitHub.
