using-git-worktrees

You create an isolated git workspace by using a git worktree, which allows working on a separate branch without affecting the main repository directory. This ensures safe feature development by applying directory selection priority, ignore verification, and automated setup steps.

Git worktrees are the best way to manage multiple branches without cluttering the main repository. Worktrees provide isolated workspaces for feature work, enabling you to experiment on separate branches safely without polluting the primary project directory.

To ensure your git worktrees are safely ignored, apply safety verification to check that worktree folders are properly added to gitignore. This prevents the isolated workspaces from polluting the main repository and keeps branch isolation strict.

Yes, you can auto-detect project context and auto-run project setup commands when creating a git worktree. This automated setup ensures the isolated workspace is fully configured and ready for feature development immediately after creation.

You should use git worktrees instead of standard branching when you need isolated workspaces to experiment without impacting the main branch. Worktrees are ideal for multi-branch workflows where directory isolation and safety checks are required to prevent workspace conflicts.
