using-git-worktrees

To create an isolated git worktree, use a workflow that automatically detects your project name, applies directory preferences for local hidden folders, and switches you into a new branch to begin development safely.

The best way to prevent worktree content leakage is to enforce safety validations that verify ignored files and ensure a clean baseline before creating a new git worktree for your project.

Yes, you can run feature branches in git without touching the main working directory by creating dedicated worktrees that provide clean separation and safe experimentation across multiple branches.

Directory selection for git worktrees works by preferring local hidden directories, such as a .worktrees folder, or falling back to a global config path to ensure deterministic project isolation.

Per-project setup steps are required after creating a git worktree to ensure a repeatable, secure workflow that properly configures the isolated environment for your specific development requirements.
