# Using Git Worktrees

Start new feature work apart from what you already have open

## What this does

You are about to start new feature work, or carry out a plan, and you do not want it mixed up with what is already in your current workspace. This makes sure a separate workspace exists first. It uses native tools where they exist and falls back to a git worktree otherwise.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Set up a separate workspace for a new feature
- Get an isolated workspace ready before running a plan

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Using Git Worktrees

For the moment before starting feature work that needs to be kept apart from your current workspace, or before carrying out an implementation plan. It makes sure an isolated workspace exists, using native tools, or a git worktree when those are not available.

## Questions

### Is Using Git Worktrees safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Using Git Worktrees and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 3dcbd5c4b48e, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/using-git-worktrees.

### How do I install Using Git Worktrees?
