using-git-worktrees

To isolate feature development, you can create a dedicated git worktree that provides a clean, separate directory for your new branch. This prevents accidental changes to your main development workspace during experiments.

Git worktrees are used to isolate work for different branches into separate directories, allowing you to parallelize feature development and experimentation without switching branches in your main repository.

You can set up a git worktree by requesting automatic directory selection and safety verification. The process checks ignore rules to prevent accidental commits of worktree contents and configures common environments.

Yes, you can create both project-local and global git worktrees. The setup process includes project-name resolution and applies automatic setup steps for common environments to ensure safe isolation.

Verifying ignore rules is necessary to prevent accidental commits of worktree contents into your main repository. Safety checks ensure the isolated directory remains separate from your primary development branch.
