using-git-worktrees

To create an isolated git worktree, the system detects existing directories or prompts for a location, validates that the chosen path is ignored by gitignore, and runs project setup steps to ensure a clean baseline for feature development.

A git worktree needs to be in a gitignore directory to prevent accidental commits of the worktree folder itself, enforcing safety and predictability by keeping the isolated environment separate from the main repository tracking.

The best way to manage multiple branches without switching contexts is using isolated git worktrees, which allow parallel workstreams by creating dedicated directories for each branch while keeping the current workspace uncontaminated.

Yes, you need a local repository and local repo access to set up a git worktree, as the automation requires existing git infrastructure to apply directory selection rules and run safe-creation checks.

Yes, you can use optional global storage instead of project-local directories, as the safe-creation checks support both configurations to enforce safety and predictability during worktree creation.
