using-git-worktrees

To create isolated git worktrees, the skill sets up separate working directories using existing local folders like .worktrees or a CLAUDE.md preference, enforcing directory discovery order to safely isolate feature work from the main repository.

Preventing accidental commits in git worktrees requires safety checks to ensure worktree directories are covered by git ignore rules, prompting with guidance to fix ignores when needed so worktree files stay out of the main repository.

You can store git worktrees globally or in project-local locations, with flexible options that support automatic baseline setup after creation to enable parallel development across multiple branches and projects.

Git worktree setup fails when the target directory is not ignored because the skill enforces safety checks to prevent accidental commits, prompting you with guidance to fix ignore rules before proceeding with worktree creation.

You need to set up git worktrees when starting feature work or implementing plans across multiple branches and projects, providing safe directory isolation to avoid contaminating the main workspace and enabling parallel development.
