using-git-worktrees

Git worktrees allow isolated feature development by creating a separate directory for a new branch, preventing conflicts with your main workspace. This ensures a clean starting point by verifying ignore status and running project-specific setup commands automatically.

The best way to manage multiple Git branches simultaneously is using isolated worktrees. This approach lets you work on multiple branches without context switching, automatically selecting a safe directory and verifying it is ignored to prevent accidental commits.

Git worktree directory selection works by systematically finding or prompting for the best location to create a new branch. Safety verification ensures the new worktree directory is ignored by Git, preventing accidental commits of worktree folders to your main repository.

Yes, you can run project-specific build and baseline tests when creating a Git worktree. Automated setup executes installation commands and verifies the new worktree starts from a clean, tested state, ensuring repository integrity before development begins.

You do not need to manually ignore Git worktree directories. The creation process includes safety verification that automatically ensures new worktree directories are ignored by Git, preventing accidental commits and maintaining a clean repository state.
