using-git-worktrees

To create an isolated Git workspace, you can use a Git worktree to develop features safely without altering the main working tree. This process automates worktree creation, runs project setup, and verifies a clean baseline before you start coding.

Using Git worktrees is an effective way to manage multiple branches without switching contexts in a single directory. Worktrees provide isolated workspaces, allowing you to develop on separate feature branches while keeping your main checkout undisturbed.

To ensure your Git worktree starts from a clean baseline, the setup process performs safety checks using your .gitignore file and verifies baseline readiness. This prevents accidental commits of worktree contents and keeps your project aligned.

Yes, you can automatically install dependencies when setting up a new Git worktree. The automated setup detects your project name, creates the worktree for your feature branch, and runs the necessary project setup commands to verify readiness.

You should store Git worktrees using a priority-based directory selection that prefers a .worktrees folder, then a worktrees folder, otherwise prompting for a location. This keeps your isolated workspaces organized and separate from the main tree.

Yes, using Git worktrees works effectively with multi-branch repositories when collaborators need clean baselines. The process implements safety verifications and automatically sets up isolated workspaces for feature planning and implementation.
