git-worktrees

This skill creates isolated Git worktrees by automating directory selection and running project setup commands like npm install, ensuring a clean and independently configured working directory for your new feature branch.

Git worktree branch isolation prevents accidental commits by implementing safety verification checks to ensure .gitignore is correctly configured before creating project-local worktrees, keeping your main codebase unaffected by separate working directories.

Yes, you can automate project setup and baseline testing within new Git worktrees. The skill detects and executes project-specific setup commands like npm install or cargo build, then verifies worktree integrity by running project tests.

The best way to manage worktree storage is using smart directory selection that automatically determines the optimal location based on project conventions and user preferences, supporting both project-local and global worktree storage configurations.

You need .gitignore configured before creating project-local Git worktrees to pass safety verification checks, which prevent the worktree directories from being accidentally committed and tracked within your main repository's version control.
