using-git-worktrees

To create an isolated git worktree, the system automates directory selection based on priority rules and CLAUDE.md preferences, then links the new feature branch to your repository with safety checks to prevent accidental commits.

Git worktree isolation prevents accidental commits by verifying gitignore configurations during creation, ensuring worktree directories are properly excluded from your main repository's tracking scope and maintaining a safe boundary between workspaces.

Yes, automated directory selection uses priority rules and CLAUDE.md preferences to discover appropriate paths for git worktrees, prompting for user input only when needed to resolve ambiguous directory placement decisions.

Safety checks during git worktree setup include gitignore verification to prevent accidental commits, post-creation validation, and automated project setup guidance including test execution to ensure the isolated environment is fully functional.

Use git worktrees when starting feature work that needs isolation from your current workspace or before implementing planned changes across multiple branches, ensuring safe separation without manual directory management or stashing.

Git worktree setup includes automatic ignore verification during creation, but you should verify your gitignore rules are properly configured beforehand to ensure worktree directories are excluded from accidental commits in the main repository.
