new-feature-branch

To create a git worktree for a new feature branch, this Skill fetches the latest remote default branch and creates an isolated worktree under your project's .worktrees directory, keeping the main checkout untouched. It then switches you into the new worktree automatically.

Yes, you can create isolated git worktrees in a bare repository. The Skill detects bare versus normal working tree layouts and adapts its git commands accordingly, skipping dirty state checks for bare repos while safely managing the worktree creation process.

Using isolated git worktrees is the safest way to start a new feature branch without modifying your main checkout. This Skill fetches the updated default branch, prevents operations on dirty working trees, and builds the new branch in a separate directory.

Git worktree creation fails on uncommitted changes because this Skill intentionally prevents branching from dirty working trees to avoid losing work or mixing states. It checks for uncommitted changes in normal repos before fetching and creating the isolated worktree.

Yes, the git worktree workflow ensures the .worktrees directory is ignored in version control. When creating a new feature worktree in normal repositories, the Skill automatically ensures the directory exists and is added to ignored paths to prevent clutter.

To ensure a new feature branch starts from the updated remote default branch instead of stale local state, this Skill fetches the remote main or master, updates the local reference, and creates the worktree directly from that fresh state.
