using-git-worktrees

To create an isolated git worktree, the skill executes 'git worktree add' to establish a separate directory that shares the repository but remains isolated from your main workspace. It automatically handles smart directory selection and runs safety checks to prevent unintentional commits.

A git worktree is an isolated workspace linked to your main repository that allows simultaneous feature branch development without workspace interference. You need it when working on new features that require a clean environment separate from your current project state.

Yes, you can prevent worktree directories from being tracked by running safety verification checks. The skill uses 'git check-ignore' to ensure the selected worktree directory is properly ignored, protecting your main repository from unintentional commits of isolated workspace files.

The best way to set up multiple isolated workspaces is using 'git worktree add' for each feature branch. The skill automates this by prompting for suitable directories, executing project setup scripts, and applying safety checks to ensure each workspace remains isolated from the main repository.

Git worktree setup interferes with the main workspace when directories are not properly ignored or isolated. The skill prevents this by executing 'git check-ignore' and smart directory selection to verify isolation before implementation, ensuring your feature branch development remains completely separate.
