using-git-worktrees

To create isolated git worktrees, the skill automatically selects a safe directory, enforces gitignore validation to prevent workspace contamination, and sets up the environment for parallel branch work. It ensures the chosen location is ignored by git before creating the worktree.

Git worktrees prevent workspace contamination during feature development by providing isolated directories. This allows you to safely work on parallel branches without affecting the main repository, ensuring a clean environment for testing and development.

Yes, the git worktree setup automatically detects the project language, installs dependencies, and runs project setup scripts. It also verifies baseline tests before handing over the workspace to confirm a clean and functional starting point.

The best way to ensure your git worktree directory is ignored is by using automated safety verification. The skill checks if the chosen location is ignored by git and automatically adds the necessary .gitignore entries if they are missing.

Yes, you can use git worktrees before subagent-driven development and plan execution phases. The skill is designed as an integration point to establish a safe, isolated workspace with verified baseline tests before complex operations begin.
