Git Worktree

I made this extension because I started using git worktrees and I wanted to make it easier to manage and setup.

There are some sensible defaults but everything is customizable 🥳

Hopefully it helps and enjoy 👋

Features

These are a list of features that I have currently implemented

Clone Command

By default if you use the clone command it create a directory structure like this:

├── .bare
├── .git
├── worktree-1 <--

Then when adding worktrees, they will live along side. This in my opinion is much cleaner and cleaner to manage

Add Command

You can choose to create a new worktree or create one from a remote branch that exists in your repository
