using-git-worktrees

To isolate feature work from your main git workspace, you can create a git worktree. This Skill automates worktree creation with smart directory selection and safety verification to keep development clean and reversible.

A git worktree is a linked working directory that lets you manage multiple branches simultaneously. You need isolated workspaces for parallel feature development, debugging, and experiment isolation without polluting the main project directory.

Set up parallel feature development by creating an isolated git worktree for each branch. This automates project name detection, prioritizes directory choices, and performs post-creation setup verification for safe multi-branch workflows.

Yes, git worktree creation verifies gitignore and baseline integrity. The process implements safety checks for ignored paths and baseline integrity before proceeding to ensure your isolated workspace starts clean.

Yes, you can use project-local and global options for worktree directory selection. The automation prioritizes directory choices and detects project names automatically, while also respecting CLAUDE.md preferences for configuration.

When using git worktrees for branching workflows, you must ensure ignored paths are correctly configured before creation. While reversible, unverified baseline integrity or incorrect directory choices can disrupt the isolation of your feature work.
