Git Worktrees

All worktrees go in ~/.worktrees/<repo-name>/<slug>/ — outside the project, no .gitignore needed.

Workflow

1. Create the worktree

MAIN_REPO="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
REPO_NAME="$(basename "$MAIN_REPO")"
WORKTREE="$HOME/.worktrees/$REPO_NAME/<slug>"

mkdir -p "$(dirname "$WORKTREE")"
git worktree add -b <branch-name> "$WORKTREE" <base-branch>
cd "$WORKTREE"

Derive <slug> from the branch name (e.g. fix/IH-694-missing-icon -> ih-694).
