using-git-worktrees

Isolate feature development by creating dedicated git worktrees linked to your repository, keeping changes separate without altering the main workspace. This prevents interference by maintaining isolated branches for new features or bug fixes in a distinct directory.

Set up a git worktree by providing a target branch name and location. The process automatically prioritizes the .worktrees/ or worktrees/ directory, verifies .gitignore settings, creates the worktree at the correct path, and performs project setup.

Yes, git worktree creation handles project setup for Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go. It auto-detects project tooling like npm, cargo, go, or pip, runs common setup steps, and verifies a clean test baseline after creating the worktree.

The best way to manage git worktree directories is through automatic directory prioritization and .gitignore verification. It prefers .worktrees/ then worktrees/, checks if the target path is ignored, and automatically adds it to .gitignore if needed for safety.

Yes, you can run tests automatically after creating a git worktree. The workflow performs automatic project setup and baseline checks, executing common setup steps and verifying a clean test baseline before reporting the status and location.
