using-git-worktrees

To create an isolated Git worktree, the Skill automates branch creation and directory discovery to set up a separate working tree without altering your main workspace. It supports both project-local and global worktree locations for safe, parallel feature development.

Managing Git worktrees for hotfixes and experiments is handled by automating worktree creation with safety checks. The Skill validates ignore rules, optionally runs project setup commands, and performs test baseline checks to ensure a safe, isolated environment.

Yes, you can use global worktree locations instead of project-local paths. The Skill supports both configurations, automatically detecting project structure and applying the appropriate setup steps to enable safe, isolated branch management.

Git worktree automation does verify ignore rules before creation. The Skill enforces safe setup by validating directory ignore configurations and running initial project setup commands only when needed to prevent accidental commits to the primary repository.

Isolated Git worktrees prevent accidental commits to the primary repository by maintaining a separate working directory for each branch. This allows safe, parallel feature development, hotfixes, and experiments without disrupting your main workspace state.
