Radberi-UsingGitWorktrees

Creating isolated git worktrees establishes a separate workspace sharing the same repository but keeping changes isolated. This ensures feature work, experiments, or refactors start from a clean baseline without contaminating the main project directory.

Safe directory selection for git worktrees prioritizes existing hidden worktree directories, checks CLAUDE.md preferences, or prompts for a location. This priority-based approach prevents accidental commits and ensures the worktree is properly ignored.

Verifying ignore rules before creating project-local git worktrees prevents accidental commits of worktree directories to the main repository. Safety checks validate that the isolation directory is properly ignored, protecting the baseline repository state.

Automating project setup commands after creating a git worktree prepares the environment automatically. The auto-setup feature runs project-specific initialization commands, ensuring the isolated workspace has the correct dependencies and configuration ready for feature work.

Git worktrees work effectively across project directories and different branches by establishing isolated workspaces from the repository. This allows simultaneous feature development on multiple branches without altering the main workspace or switching contexts constantly.
