using-git-worktrees

To create an isolated git worktree, this skill auto-detects your project name, selects a safe directory path by honoring existing local folders and CLAUDE.md preferences, and runs setup steps to bootstrap a clean baseline.

Using a git worktree isolates your feature work from the main branch. This skill ensures safe isolation by validating gitignore rules and prioritizing existing local worktree directories before creating the new workspace.

Yes, the git worktree creation process consults CLAUDE.md when present. It uses these preferences alongside existing local folder prioritization to determine the correct worktree path for predictable isolation.

Yes, you can use global locations for your git worktree. The workflow supports both project-local and global directory locations, automatically detecting the repository name to craft the correct path.

Git worktree setup checks gitignore rules to ensure the new worktree directory is safely ignored. This safety check prevents the isolated workspace from accidentally polluting your main repository tracking.

To bootstrap project setup steps automatically, this skill runs the required initialization actions immediately after creating the worktree in the selected path, preparing a clean baseline for feature development.
