SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create isolated git worktrees to isolate feature work from the current workspace.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Directory-based isolation: automatically select an existing worktree directory or choose between .worktrees and worktrees, or a global path when needed.
  • Safety verification: ensure the chosen directory is ignored by git to prevent accidental commits of worktree contents, with automatic fixes when violated.
  • Auto-setup orchestration: auto-detect project setup steps (Node.js, Rust, Python, Go) and run the appropriate initialization commands in the new worktree.
  • Guided workflow: clear prompts when user input is needed and robust fallbacks if options are missing.

Quick Start

Run the skill to create an isolated git worktree following the priority rules and safety checks.

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

To create isolated git worktrees, run the skill to automate directory selection between .worktrees and worktrees, enforce gitignore safety verification, and auto-detect setup commands for Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go projects.

When do I need to use a git worktree for my development workflow?

You need a git worktree when starting feature work or implementation plans that require safe, isolated development environments across multiple branches without disrupting your current workspace.

How does git worktree isolation prevent accidental commits of worktree contents?

Git worktree isolation prevents accidental commits by enforcing safety verification to ensure the chosen directory is ignored by git, applying automatic fixes when directory rules are violated.

Can I auto-detect project setup commands for Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go in a new worktree?

Yes, you can auto-detect project setup commands for Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go, because the skill orchestrates initialization by running the appropriate setup commands automatically in the new worktree.

What is the best way to manage multiple git branches without switching directories?

The best way to manage multiple branches is creating isolated git worktrees that separate feature work from your current workspace, guided by clear prompts and robust fallbacks for missing options.

Do I need to manually configure gitignore rules before creating a worktree?

You do not need to manually configure gitignore rules beforehand, because the safety verification step automatically checks if the chosen directory is ignored by git and applies fixes when violated.
