SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides isolated git worktrees to separate feature work from the active workspace.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Priority-based directory selection (.worktrees or worktrees) to host isolated worktrees
  • Safety verification to ensure worktrees are ignored by git, preventing accidental commits
  • Automated creation and setup: detects project name, creates a new worktree, and runs project-specific setup

Quick Start

Create a new isolated git worktree for the feature branch and verify the worktree directory is ignored by git.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create isolated git worktrees for parallel feature branches?

Create isolated git worktrees using priority-based directory selection to host new workspaces, automatically detecting the project name and running project-specific setup to separate feature work safely.

Why do I need to ensure my git worktrees directory is ignored?

Ensuring git worktrees are ignored by git provides safety verification, preventing accidental commits of isolated worktree directories into your main repository history.

Can I run parallel tasks in git worktrees without changing my current directory?

Yes, you can run parallel tasks without changing the current directory by creating isolated git worktrees that separate feature work and experimentation into dedicated workspaces.

What's the best way to automate project setup when adding a new git worktree?

Automate project setup by using a tool that auto-detects the project name, runs git worktree add, and executes project-specific setup commands immediately after creating the isolated workspace.

Does this git worktree creation process support custom workspace directories?

Yes, it implements priority-based directory selection, automatically choosing a designated folder like .worktrees or worktrees to host your isolated git worktrees.
