using-git-worktrees

To create an isolated git worktree, the Skill automates directory selection, applies project-name detection, and establishes a new feature branch. It ensures isolation by prioritizing project-local directories to prevent cluttering your main workspace.

Verifying ignore rules before setting up a git worktree prevents accidental commits of worktree contents into the main repository. The Skill performs rigorous safety checks to confirm the worktree directory is properly ignored by git.

The best way to automate project setup after creating a git worktree is to use a Skill that handles toolchain installation and build steps automatically. This Skill also runs a post-creation test baseline to verify the environment is correctly configured.

Yes, you can apply CLAUDE.md preferences when managing git worktrees. The Skill integrates these preferences during the worktree creation and automated setup process to ensure the isolated workspace aligns with your project configuration.

Git worktree isolation works without cluttering the main workspace by following a clear directory priority rule. The Skill selects project-local directories first, then global ones, ensuring feature work remains safely separated from your primary repository.
