FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an isolated workspace for feature development?▼

You can create an isolated workspace by using either native platform worktree tools or a manual git worktree fallback, which automates directory selection, gitignore verification, and project setup to prevent branch conflicts.

What is the best way to isolate feature branches and avoid conflicts?▼

Using git worktrees is an effective way to isolate feature branches, allowing you to maintain separate directories for different branches simultaneously to avoid workspace conflicts during development.

Do I need to update gitignore when using git worktrees?▼

Yes, updating gitignore is required when using git worktrees. The automated safety verification step ensures that your worktree directories are properly added to the gitignore file to prevent accidental commits.

Can I use native platform worktree tools instead of manual git worktrees?▼

Yes, you can use native platform tools. The setup actively prefers and utilizes platform-specific worktree tools for optimal performance, automatically falling back to manual git worktrees only if native tools are unavailable.

How does project setup work after creating a git worktree?▼

After creating a git worktree, project setup is automated. The process handles dependency installations and necessary setup tasks, and provides a quick reference summary of actions to take for your feature work.

When should I use native worktree tools versus a manual git worktree fallback?▼

You should use native worktree tools whenever they are available on your platform for the best performance. The manual git worktree fallback is designed for environments where native tools are not present or accessible.
