Using Git Worktrees

Overview

Create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository. Systematic directory selection + safety verification.

Core principle: Isolated workspace before implementation.

Process

Check existing directories (.worktrees/ or worktrees/)
Verify directory is gitignored
Create worktree with new branch
Run project setup (auto-detect npm/cargo/pip/go)
Verify clean test baseline
Report ready

Safety

Always verify worktree directory is gitignored
Always run baseline tests
Report failures before proceeding
