SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Git worktrees enable safe, isolated workspaces for feature development within a single repository, keeping changes separate from the main working tree.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic workspace creation using a prioritized directory strategy (.worktrees, worktrees, CLAUDE.md preferences, or user input).
  • Safety verification to ensure new worktrees are ignored by gitignore before creation, preventing accidental commits of worktree contents.
  • Automated project setup and test execution within the new worktree to validate readiness.

Quick Start

Create an isolated git worktree for the current repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an isolated git worktree for feature development?▼

Git worktrees provide safe, isolated workspaces for feature development within a single repository, keeping your changes separate from the main working tree without needing multiple clones.

How do I prevent accidental commits of my git worktree directory?▼

To prevent accidental commits, this tool enforces safety verification checks before creation, ensuring the new worktree directory is properly ignored by your gitignore configuration.

Can I automate project setup and tests when creating a new git worktree?▼

Yes, after creating the worktree with git worktree add, the tool auto-detects the project type, runs the necessary setup commands, executes tests, and reports readiness or any failures.

How does the tool determine where to place new git worktree directories?▼

It uses a deterministic directory selection workflow that prioritizes hidden .worktrees directories, then public worktrees, followed by CLAUDE.md preferences or user prompts to decide the workspace location.

What are the limitations of using git worktrees for isolated workspaces?▼

Worktrees require careful gitignore configuration to prevent accidental commits of the worktree contents, and automated setup depends on successfully detecting the project type and running tests without failures.
