using-git-worktrees

To create an isolated git worktree, the Skill discovers your project directory, verifies gitignore safety rules, and sets up an isolated workspace so you can run multiple branches in parallel without disturbing your main development environment.

You need a git worktree when you must run multiple branches or experiments in parallel. It creates an isolated directory for each branch, allowing you to keep your main workspace undisturbed while testing new features simultaneously.

To ensure git worktree creation respects gitignore rules, this Skill performs safety verification checks on project-local worktrees. This prevents accidental commits of untracked files when setting up your isolated development environment.

Yes, you can automatically configure toolchains when creating a git worktree. The Skill detects the project name, creates the isolated worktree, and runs optional setup steps for common toolchains to ensure a reproducible environment.

The best way to manage multiple isolated workspaces is using git worktrees. This Skill checks for existing local or global worktree directories and user preferences to correctly select and prepare a safe, isolated workspace for your feature work.
