using-git-worktrees

To create an isolated Git worktree, this skill automates directory selection and safety verification, ensuring the new workspace is properly ignored by Git to prevent accidental commits during feature development.

Using Git worktrees is the best way to manage multiple branches without context switching. This skill creates isolated workspaces allowing simultaneous branch work, preventing local directory conflicts.

After creating a Git worktree, this skill detects and automatically runs project-specific setup commands like npm install or cargo build to prepare the isolated development environment.

Yes, Git worktree creation includes safety verification to ensure new directories are properly ignored by Git. This isolation check prevents the worktree path from being accidentally committed to the repository.

Yes, you can run baseline tests automatically. This skill executes baseline test verification after worktree creation and project setup to confirm a clean starting state for new feature development.

You need Git worktrees when starting new features that require a clean slate. This skill provides isolated development environments, managing branch setup and initial verification without disrupting your main workspace.
