Isolated Git Worktree Manager

About

The Isolated Git Worktree Manager skill streamlines the process of starting new feature work by setting up isolated workspaces, allowing developers to work on multiple branches simultaneously without workspace conflicts. It follows a systematic directory selection process, ensures worktree paths are properly ignored in Git to prevent repository pollution, automatically installs project dependencies for various languages, and runs baseline tests to guarantee a clean starting state before implementation begins.

Key Features

• Automated .gitignore verification and immediate fix application
• Seamless integration with implementation and branch finishing workflows
• Mandatory baseline test execution to ensure workspace integrity
• 0 GitHub stars
• Priority-based directory selection (.worktrees, worktrees, or global configuration)
• Multi-language project setup detection for Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go

Use Cases

• Starting a new feature while maintaining an active, separate development environment
• Hotfixing critical bugs in an isolated workspace without disturbing current progress
• Running long-duration tests or builds in a dedicated worktree while continuing work elsewhere
