using-git-worktrees

To create isolated Git worktrees for parallel feature work, this Skill automates priority-based directory selection between hidden .worktrees, worktrees, or global locations, performs safety checks, and establishes a clean baseline workspace.

Using Git worktrees is the best way to prevent feature branches from polluting your main Git workspace, as it creates isolated worktree directories and verifies they are properly ignored by Git.

Directory selection for Git worktree creation follows a priority-based system, automatically choosing between hidden .worktrees, standard worktrees, or global locations to ensure safe and isolated feature development.

Yes, you can auto-run project setup inside a new Git worktree, as the Skill automatically detects and executes environment configuration, dependency installation, and builds to ready the worktree for development.

New Git worktree locations may show up as untracked files if Git ignore verification fails, which is why this Skill enforces safety checks to ensure worktrees are ignored and do not pollute the repository.

No, you do not need to manually configure environment variables before starting feature work, because the Skill auto-detects and runs project setup to configure the environment and establish a clean baseline.
