gsd-new-workspace

You create an isolated workspace by generating a target directory containing copies of specified git repos as worktrees or clones, alongside an independent .planning/ directory for separate state management.

Git worktrees allow you to maintain separate branches in different directories without state leakage, enabling parallel workstreams across multiple repositories while keeping your planning data isolated in a dedicated .planning/ directory.

Yes, when creating a multi-repo workspace, you can apply optional per-repo branch handling and naming to ensure each cloned repository or worktree checks out the correct branch for your feature isolation scenario.

Generating a manifest file happens automatically when you create a new workspace, outputting a WORKSPACE.md file that records the included repositories, branches, and target paths for your isolated development environment.

No, you do not need to provide a repository list upfront; if repos are not provided, the system supports interactive repo selection to help you choose which repositories to include as worktrees or clones in your workspace.

The best way to isolate GSD state is to create a dedicated workspace directory with an independent .planning/ folder, preventing state leakage between parallel workstreams while managing multiple git repositories.
