branchlet

Branchlet is a CLI tool for creating and managing Git worktrees. It simplifies worktree operations for developers, allowing them to switch between branches and manage multiple worktrees efficiently. It integrates with Git and is supported by Claude.

[{"step":"Install Branchlet CLI by following the [official installation guide](https://github.com/branchlet/branchlet#installation). Ensure Git is installed and configured on your system.","tip":"Verify installation with `branchlet --version`. If using Claude, ensure the CLI tool is accessible in your terminal environment."},{"step":"Navigate to your Git repository or specify the repository path in the command. Use `branchlet list` to check existing worktrees before creating new ones.","tip":"Run `branchlet list --repo /path/to/repo` to see all worktrees associated with a repository. This helps avoid naming conflicts."},{"step":"Use `branchlet create` to generate a new worktree. Specify the source branch, worktree name, and repository path. Example: `branchlet create --from feature/xyz --name xyz-dev --repo /projects/app`.","tip":"Use `--default main` to set the default branch for the new worktree. This is useful if you frequently switch between branches."},{"step":"Switch between worktrees using `branchlet switch <worktree-name>`. Navigate to the worktree directory and start working.","tip":"Use `branchlet prune` to clean up stale worktrees (e.g., after merging branches). Always verify with `branchlet list` before pruning."},{"step":"Integrate Branchlet into your workflow by automating worktree creation for feature branches. Use it alongside Git commands like `git checkout` and `git merge`.","tip":"Combine Branchlet with scripts to automate worktree setup for new feature branches. For example, create a script that runs `branchlet create` after `git checkout -b feature/xyz`."}]
