using-git-worktrees

To isolate feature development, you create a git worktree. This sets up an isolated working directory linked to your repository, preventing contamination of your main branch while keeping development reproducible.

The best way to set up a git worktree is using smart directory selection with priority rules and fallbacks. This automatically creates an isolated workspace, verifies ignored-directory checks, and confirms a clean baseline before you proceed.

Git worktree directory selection in multi-project repos uses smart priority rules and fallbacks to known project locations. This ensures the new worktree is placed correctly while handling directory discovery and ignore checks automatically.

Yes, you can use a git worktree to verify a clean test baseline. The setup process includes baseline verification and cleanup readiness reporting, ensuring your isolated workspace is fully validated before feature implementation.

Git worktree limitations include the need to manage directory discovery and verify .gitignore rules carefully. If ignored-directory checks fail or cleanup readiness is not reported, you risk workspace contamination or orphaned worktrees.
