using-git-worktrees

To set up an isolated Git worktree, you need to select a safe directory location, create the worktree, install project dependencies, and run tests to verify a clean baseline before starting your feature work.

Git worktrees prevent workspace contamination by isolating experimental features and multi-branch development into dedicated directories, allowing you to maintain a clean main workspace without constantly switching contexts or stashing changes.

Yes, directory-aware worktree creation supports both project-local and global locations. The process enforces safe directory selection, performs ignore checks, and auto-detects the project name to generate standardized paths.

The best way to manage pre-implementation planning is using isolated Git worktrees. This approach auto-detects your project name, creates a safe isolated environment, runs setup commands, and validates a clean test baseline for your planning.

Yes, setting up a Git worktree automatically runs project setup commands to install dependencies and validates a clean test baseline immediately after creating the worktree and verifying safe directory selection and ignore checks.
