using-git-worktrees

This Skill automates creating an isolated Git worktree by selecting a preferred directory like `.worktrees/`, adding it to `.gitignore` for safety, and setting up the project environment for feature development.

Yes, Git worktree automation supports Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go projects by automatically detecting the environment and running the appropriate dependency installation commands like npm, cargo, pip, poetry, or go.

Git worktrees provide isolated workspaces, allowing you to work on multiple branches simultaneously without context switching. This Skill ensures each worktree starts from a known good state by running baseline tests after setup.

To verify your project builds correctly before starting work, this Skill performs a baseline health check by running project tests immediately after creating the worktree and installing dependencies, ensuring a clean starting state.

The safest way to manage worktree directories is to place them in project-local folders like `.worktrees/` and ensure they are added to `.gitignore`. This Skill performs safety verification to prevent accidental commits of worktree directories.
