SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill isolates feature work, providing a clean workspace that ensures changes don't interfere with the current workspace or other ongoing tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Isolated Workspace: Creates an isolated git worktree to avoid workspace contamination.
  • Smart Directory Selection: Utilizes system directory checks and CLAUDE.md configuration to choose the right directory.
  • Safety Verification: Ensures worktree directory is ignored to prevent accidental commits.
  • Automated Setup: Auto-detects project dependencies and runs setup scripts.
  • Quick Start: Easy to initiate by specifying the skill and branch name.

Quick Start

Set up an isolated workspace for 'feature/auth' with using-git-worktrees.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an isolated git worktree for a feature branch?▼

To create an isolated git worktree, you specify the skill and your target branch name. The tool automates the worktree creation and selects an appropriate directory based on your project structure and configuration.

Why use a git worktree instead of branching to isolate feature work?▼

A git worktree isolates feature work by providing a separate physical directory. This prevents workspace contamination, ensuring changes don't interfere with your current workspace or other ongoing tasks.

Can I auto-detect project dependencies and run setup scripts when setting up a git worktree?▼

Yes, the worktree setup process auto-detects project dependencies and automatically runs the necessary setup scripts. This ensures your isolated development environment is fully configured immediately after creation.

How does smart directory selection work when creating a git worktree?▼

Smart directory selection uses system directory checks and your CLAUDE.md configuration to choose the right location. This automated selection ensures the worktree is placed correctly within your project structure.

How do I verify ignored directories to prevent accidental commits in a new git worktree?▼

The worktree creation process includes safety verification to ensure the new directory is ignored. This prevents accidental commits of the worktree folder itself to your main repository.

What is the best way to avoid workspace contamination when branching in Git?▼

The best way to avoid workspace contamination is using an isolated git worktree. It provides a clean, safe, and efficient development environment for feature branching without disrupting your current workspace.
