worktree

To create a git worktree, run the create-worktree.sh script with your feature name and the --new-branch flag to generate an isolated branch and working directory for immediate feature development.

Using a git worktree is the best way to manage isolated branches for refactoring, allowing you to maintain a clean branch prefix like refactor/ and navigate directly to the dedicated worktree directory.

Yes, the worktree creation script detects whether the target branch is new or existing and adapts its behavior accordingly to check out your current branch into an isolated working directory.

You need a working Git installation to spin up a worktree, as the script parses arguments and generates branch names using standard git worktree commands for environment setup.

After generating a git worktree, the script reports the worktree path so you can navigate to that directory and start a development session immediately in the isolated environment.

When creating a worktree, you can assign branch prefixes such as feat/, refactor/, fix/, or chore/ to organize isolated feature development and clean branch management.
