# Worktree Switch Skill
Switch between git worktrees efficiently.
## When to Use
- Working on multiple issues
- Need to context switch
- Testing different branches
- Comparing implementations
## Usage
### List Worktrees
```bash
# See all worktrees
git worktree list
# Example output
# /home/user/ml-odyssey abc1234 [main]
# /home/user/ml-odyssey-42-feature def5678 [42-feature]
# /home/user/ml-odyssey-73-bugfix ghi9012 [73-bugfix]
```text
### Switch Worktree
```bash
# Just cd to different worktree
cd ../ml-odyssey-42-feature
# Verify current worktree
git worktree list | grep "*"
```text
### Quick Switch Script
```bash
# Switch by issue number
./scripts/switch_worktree.sh 42
# Changes to worktree for issue #42
```text
## Tips
### Use Shell Aliases
```bash
# Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
alias wt='git worktree list'
alias wtcd='cd $(git worktree list | fzf | awk "{print \$1}")'
```text
### Terminal Multiplexer
Use tmux/screen for persistent sessions per worktree:
```bash
# Session per worktree
tmux new -s issue-42
cd ../ml-odyssey-42-feature
# Switch sessions
tmux attach -t issue-42
```text
## Best Practices
- One worktree per issue
- Clear naming (issue-number-description)
- Keep worktrees organized
- Clean up when done
