using-git-worktrees

To create an isolated git worktree, provide the project name and target branch. The system discovers directories, verifies ignore rules, safely creates the worktree, and runs automatic project-setup steps for common toolchains.

Git worktrees provide safe, independent workspaces by running separate branches outside the main working directory. This prevents local changes or branching conflicts when starting new feature work or experiments.

Yes, git worktree creation includes automatic per-project setup detection for Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go toolchains. It prepares the new workspace by executing the appropriate setup steps for the detected environment.

If project-local git worktrees are not ignored, built-in safety verification triggers an automatic fallback. This fallback updates the .gitignore file and commits the necessary changes to ensure worktrees remain properly isolated.

Yes, git worktrees handle feature work, experiments, and bugfixes that require isolation from the main working directory. They share the same repository but operate on separate branches for independent development.

Worktree discovery prefers hidden .worktrees directories first, then checks standard worktree locations. If no preference is found automatically, the system asks for your preference before safely creating the isolated workspace.
