Git Worktrees

Git worktrees create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository, allowing work on multiple branches simultaneously.

Announce at start: "I'm using the using-git-worktrees skill to set up an isolated workspace."

Quick Start

# Create worktree with new branch
git worktree add .worktrees/feature-auth -b feature/auth

# Create worktree from existing branch
git worktree add .worktrees/bugfix bugfix/issue-123

# List worktrees
git worktree list

# Remove worktree
git worktree remove .worktrees/feature-auth

Directory Selection

  1. Check existing: .worktrees/ or worktrees/
  2. Check CLAUDE.md for preference
  3. Ask user if neither exists

Safety Requirements

Before creating project-local worktree:

# Verify directory is in .gitignore
grep -q "^\.worktrees/$" .gitignore || grep -q "^worktrees/$" .gitignore

If NOT in .gitignore: Add it immediately and commit.
