To create isolated git worktrees, the system sets up dedicated workspaces by creating a git worktree for your target branch, checking it out, and running project setup steps. It automatically discovers existing local worktree directories like .worktrees before prompting you for a location.

Managing multiple git branches without disturbing the main workspace is done by creating isolated git worktrees. This approach establishes separate working directories for each feature branch within a single repository, ensuring your primary working directory remains untouched.

To prevent accidentally committing git worktree contents, the setup process validates ignore rules using git check-ignore. This safety verification ensures worktree directories are properly ignored and automatically fixes ignore files when needed.

Yes, you can use a global directory location for git worktrees. The system supports both project-local and global worktree locations, prioritizing existing local directories like .worktrees and honoring project configuration before prompting you for a preferred path.

Yes, setting up git worktrees runs optional project setup steps after checking out the target branch. The workflow creates the worktree, checks out the branch, executes any applicable setup commands, and reports the exact location for immediate use.
