alt Hacker News> When you start a feature branch on your own, do you create an entirely new development environment to do it?
… yes? We have a few wrapper scripts around worktree operations that copy some docker volumes (pg data, bundle cache, etc.) from the base and spins up an entirely new stack on different ports with a host alias. We don’t have to install any deps beyond that because we copied over the ruby gems bundle cache and we’re using Yarn PnP + “zero installs” for client-side deps.
Wait - you have a repository with a dev environment, and now that you want a new feature branch, you’re creating an entirely new dev environment?
Maybe I’ve been isolated from The World for too long, but this sounds … unhealthy.
