using-git-worktrees

To create an isolated git worktree, the system uses priority-based directory selection from existing local worktrees, CLAUDE.md hints, or user prompts, then automatically runs project setup steps to establish a clean baseline for parallel feature development.

Git worktree isolation creates separate working directories sharing the same repository, enabling parallel development without polluting your main workspace. You need it when working on multiple feature branches simultaneously or requiring safe directory separation.

Yes, git worktree setup supports common stacks including Node, Python, and Go with auto-detection for dependencies and test commands. It automatically identifies project tooling to run appropriate setup steps and baseline checks.

Git worktree creation verifies the target directory is ignored to prevent accidental commits of worktree contents into the main repository. This safety verification ensures isolated worktree files remain separate from your primary project history.

Yes, you can use CLAUDE.md to configure git worktree directory locations. The system uses priority-based selection that checks CLAUDE.md hints, existing local worktree directories, or prompts for a location if no preference is found.
