Add complete worktree workflow system with: Core Scripts: - git-migrate-to-worktrees: Convert repos to worktree structure - git-issue-branch: Unified command adapting to repo structure - git-smart-switch: Context-aware branch navigation - git-worktree-ide: IDE launcher for worktrees - git-worktree-cleanup: Automated cleanup of merged worktrees - git-clone-worktree: Clone with worktree structure from start Intelligent Abstractions: - Auto-detection of repository structure - Transparent delegation between traditional/worktree modes - Behavioral polymorphism for unified developer experience - Graceful fallback for legacy patterns Documentation: - WORKTREE_WORKFLOW.md: Comprehensive guide with critical rules - WORKTREE_QUICK_START.md: Quick reference card - WORKTREE_SCRIPT_ABSTRACTIONS.md: Technical architecture docs Enables parallel development on multiple issues simultaneously with zero learning curve and AI-friendly workflow.

…ative command reference Documentation improvements: - Emphasize interactive issue selection (no issue number required) - Add searchable list and fuzzy filtering capabilities - Clarify native git commands vs helper scripts choice - Add comprehensive git worktree command reference - Expand locked worktrees explanation with use cases - Remove shell prompt integration (git prompts work automatically) - Add complete native command workflows and examples Key additions: - "No Issue Number Required" section highlighting interactive mode - Full git worktree command reference (create, list, remove, lock, etc.) - Native vs helper scripts comparison with 3 detailed examples - Locked worktrees explanation with network drive/external drive scenarios - Common workflows: parallel development, hotfix, code review - Troubleshooting commands and configuration options Makes it clear users have complete freedom to use native git commands or helper scripts, with detailed documentation for both approaches. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
…ained structure Key clarifications: - ~/git/ is just an example location, works anywhere you clone repos - Worktree structure works in any directory: /projects/, /workspace/, home, etc. - All worktrees are contained WITHIN the repository directory - Self-contained structure keeps everything portable and together - Moving repository directory moves all worktrees together - No worktrees scattered across different filesystem locations Added prominent notes at top of both guides explaining location flexibility and emphasizing the self-contained nature of the structure. Makes it clear users can organize their repositories however they prefer while maintaining the benefits of the contained worktree structure. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Add detailed explanation of why we use .git/info/exclude instead of .gitignore for worktree structure: Key points: - Prevents Git from tracking worktrees/ directory and base README - Uses .git/info/exclude for local, non-tracked exclusions - Avoids .gitignore which would need to be in every branch - Prevents merge conflicts across branches - Works across all worktrees automatically - Zero code changes required to existing branches Benefits of .git/info/exclude approach: ✅ Local to repository (not committed) ✅ Works across all branches ✅ No branch conflicts ✅ Zero code changes ❌ .gitignore would cause merge conflicts and require branch updates This enables the worktree structure without modifying any branch files, making migration completely transparent to the codebase. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
