using-git-worktrees

This skill creates isolated git worktrees for feature development by automating directory selection and verifying that project-local worktree directories are ignored by Git before creation, preventing accidental commits.

Managing multiple git branches simultaneously is best achieved by using git worktrees to create isolated workspaces. This allows you to maintain separate directories for different branches, enabling simultaneous feature development without switching branches in a single directory.

Yes, this git worktree setup supports Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go projects. It automatically runs project-specific setup commands like npm, cargo, pip, and go, and executes baseline tests to ensure the isolated environment is ready for coding.

You need to ignore worktree directories in Git before creation to ensure safety and prevent accidental commits of the worktree itself. This skill performs safety verification to guarantee project-local worktrees are properly ignored before setting up the isolated environment.

To automate setup commands when creating a git worktree, this skill runs project-specific configurations for npm, cargo, pip, or go automatically after creation. It also executes baseline tests to report a clean, ready-to-code environment for your feature branch.
