Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
Git (Reference)
Git repository interaction and automation.
github-issue-worktree
Manage an isolated worktree per GitHub issue. Register the branch with `gh issue develop`, then create, list, and remove the worktree with `git cow` only, by following the git-worktrees skill. The default directory is `~/.worktrees/<project>/`. Use it when the user explicitly asks to work on a GitHub issue.
