using-git-worktrees

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the creation and management of isolated Git worktrees, preventing conflicts and ensuring a clean development environment for new features.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Isolated Workspaces: Work on multiple branches simultaneously without context switching.
• Smart Directory Selection: Automatically finds or prompts for the best location for new worktrees.
• Safety Verification: Ensures project directories are ignored before worktree creation to prevent accidental commits.
• Automated Setup: Detects project type and runs necessary setup commands (npm, cargo, pip, poetry, go).
• Baseline Testing: Verifies a clean starting state by running project tests.
• Use Case: Before starting work on a new authentication feature, use this Skill to create a dedicated, isolated worktree for that branch, ensuring your main development line remains unaffected.

Quick Start
