using-git-worktrees

To create an isolated git worktree, this skill automates directory selection, enforces safety checks to ignore local paths, and runs project-specific setup commands to ensure a clean workspace for your feature branch.

Git worktree allows you to create separate directories for concurrent work on different branches sharing the same repository. You need it when starting a new feature to maintain a clean, isolated development environment.

Yes, git worktree setup supports multiple project types including Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go. It automatically runs the corresponding setup commands like npm install or cargo build and executes baseline tests.

To prevent accidental commits in project-local git worktrees, this skill performs safety verification to ensure your local directories are properly ignored by Git before creating the worktree.

The best way to run baseline tests in a new git worktree is using automated setup. This skill executes project-specific setup commands and baseline tests automatically to confirm a stable starting point before coding.
