What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the safe creation and management of Git worktrees in git-crypt protected repositories, addressing key propagation and lock/unlock challenges.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create worktrees for git-crypt repos with automatic key propagation and lock handling.
  • Automatically bypass or re-enable the smudge filter during worktree setup.
  • Centralized key management guidance and compatible workflows for main repos and derived work trees.
  • Troubleshooting guidance for common git-crypt worktree issues (unlock, key copying, status checks).

Quick Start

Create a new worktree that supports git-crypt, unlock the worktree with a key, and verify that encryption is active and syncing with the main repo.
