git-worktree

To create an isolated git worktree, use a skill that identifies and sets up a new workspace with smart directory selection and safety verification. It ensures the chosen directory is ignored by git and automatically installs project dependencies before use.

A git worktree is an isolated workspace linked to a single repository that enables concurrent feature work without disturbing the main directory. You need one for multi-branch workflows to preserve repository integrity while switching contexts.

Yes, git worktree setup auto-detects the project toolchain for Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go. After creating the worktree, it automatically installs and validates the necessary dependencies to ensure a clean baseline.

The best way to ensure a git worktree directory is safely ignored is by using a setup skill that verifies ignore rules during creation. If the directory is not ignored, it prompts you to fix and commit the necessary changes.

To verify a clean baseline after creating a git worktree, the setup process runs project-specific tests automatically. This confirms readiness and validates that the installed dependencies and isolated environment are functioning correctly.

Git worktree setup prompts for location to apply smart directory selection between project-local and global options. This ensures safe placement based on preference handling specified in CLAUDE.md, preventing accidental repository disturbance.
