using-git-worktrees

You can create an isolated git worktree by running the skill, which automatically detects the preferred location, checks that the path is ignored by git, and sets up the worktree to isolate feature work from the main repository.

Git worktrees provide the best way to keep experimental code isolated by creating separate working directories for each branch, ensuring feature work stays separated from the main repository while maintaining safety verifications.

Directory selection for git worktrees follows a clear priority: reuse existing worktrees, respect CLAUDE.md preferences, or prompt the user when needed, ensuring the chosen path is ignored by git to prevent accidental commits.

Yes, the setup includes safety verifications that check whether the chosen worktree paths are properly ignored by git to prevent accidental commits of worktree contents into the main repository.

Yes, git worktrees support experiments requiring different tooling configurations by providing branch isolation across project contexts, creating safe and reproducible environments separate from the main repository.

Verifying a clean baseline before creating a git worktree ensures the main repository state is stable, preventing accidental commits of worktree contents and ensuring a safe, reproducible environment for feature development.
