worktree-lifecycle

Git worktrees for isolated feature development are managed by automating the complete lifecycle from pre-flight checks and creation to dependency setup and safe cleanup. This process ensures a separate working directory without interfering with the main codebase.

Running parallel development tasks without git conflicts is best achieved by assigning each concurrent agent to a dedicated git worktree. This isolation prevents branch interference and allows multiple features to be developed simultaneously.

To set up dependencies and run baseline tests in a new git worktree, the lifecycle manager automates dependency installation and executes initial tests immediately after worktree creation, ensuring the isolated environment is fully configured before development begins.

Yes, you can use git worktrees for parallel agent execution by creating isolated workspaces for each agent. The lifecycle manager coordinates this by assigning each concurrent task to a separate worktree to prevent conflicts.

To safely cleanup git worktrees after feature development, the lifecycle management process executes predefined safe cleanup procedures. This removes the isolated directory and associated metadata without damaging your main repository or active branches.

Git worktrees require pre-flight checks before creation to validate the existing repository state and directory selection. This prevents conflicts and ensures the new isolated development environment is initialized correctly without overlapping existing work.
