create-worktree

Create an isolated git workspace by generating a detached worktree from your current branch or origin/main, allowing you to run tests and experiments without modifying the main repository checkout.

A detached git worktree provides a clean, isolated workspace derived from a branch for parallel work, CI testing, or deployment isolation without affecting the main repository's current state.

To set up a git worktree from origin/main, select origin/main as your base during creation, and the workspace will automatically switch into the new detached worktree directory after verifying its structure.

Yes, you can run parallel work by creating a detached git worktree, which provides a separate directory for testing or experimentation while keeping your main repository checkout completely untouched.

Creating a detached worktree does not affect your current git branch, as it builds an isolated workspace using the --detach flag to ensure safe testing and deployment without modifying the main checkout.

Use a detached worktree for temporary testing, CI runs, or safe experimentation when you need an isolated workspace from the current branch or origin/main without creating permanent branch history.
