SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Managing multiple Git branches simultaneously can be messy, leading to constant context switching and the risk of accidental commits. This skill streamlines your workflow by creating truly isolated development environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

Isolated Workspaces: Create separate working directories for different branches, allowing parallel development without interference.
Smart Directory Selection: Automatically or interactively determines the best location for new worktrees, respecting project conventions.
Safety Verification: Ensures .gitignore is correctly configured to prevent accidental commits of worktree contents.
Use Case: Start new feature work (e.g., feature/login) without disrupting your main branch, ensuring a clean, isolated development environment for focused coding.

Quick Start

Use the using-git-worktrees skill to set up an isolated workspace for my new 'feature/login' branch.
