using-git-worktrees

To isolate feature development using git worktrees, you can create an isolated branch in a project-local directory. This Skill automatically resolves the directory path, applies user preferences, and ensures the worktree is ignored by git for safety.

The safest way to set up a git worktree directory is to ensure it is properly ignored by git. This Skill includes built-in safety verification to prevent the worktree directory from being accidentally committed to your repository.

You can configure custom worktree locations by defining your preferences in a CLAUDE.md file. The Skill auto-detects and applies these preferences to determine whether to use a project-local or global worktree directory.

Yes, you can automatically install dependencies when creating a git worktree. The Skill auto-detects the project setup, runs relevant installation steps, and executes post-creation verification to ensure a clean baseline.

You should use git worktrees instead of switching branches when you need to isolate feature work from your current workspace. This allows you to run implementation plans and tests in parallel without disrupting your primary working directory.
