using-git-worktrees

Create isolated git worktrees to develop multiple features concurrently without branch switching by adding worktree directories to your project, verifying .gitignore, and running baseline tests. This prevents workspace pollution.

Manage git worktrees safely by verifying the worktree directory is present in .gitignore, automatically adding and committing it if missing, preventing accidental commits of worktree contents into the main repository.

Set up a new feature branch using git worktrees by creating an isolated workspace, auto-detecting project type for dependency installation, and running baseline tests before proceeding with implementation.

Git worktree creation supports custom directory selection by preferring existing .worktrees/ over worktrees/, respecting CLAUDE.md preferences, and prompting the user when directory paths are ambiguous.

Use git worktrees instead of switching branches to enable parallel feature development and prevent workspace pollution, allowing multiple isolated workspaces to operate concurrently without affecting the main repository.

Run baseline tests in a git worktree before feature implementation by creating the isolated workspace, auto-detecting project files to install dependencies, and executing tests to ensure a stable starting point.
