erikpr1994 Worktree Check
Ensure git write operations happen inside an isolated worktree.
When to Use
- Before
git commit,git push,git merge, orgit rebase - When unsure if you are in a worktree
Verify Worktree
# Worktree indicators
[ -f .git ] && echo "worktree"
git rev-parse --git-dir 2>/dev/null | grep -q "/worktrees/" && echo "worktree"
If neither check confirms a worktree, create one before proceeding.
Create Worktree (Recommended)
# Prefer .worktrees/ if present
ls -d .worktrees worktrees 2>/dev/null
# Ensure gitignored
git check-ignore -q .worktrees || echo ".worktrees/" >> .gitignore
# Create and enter worktree
branch="feature/your-branch"
git worktree add .worktrees/your-branch -b "$branch"
cd .worktrees/your-branch
Proceed Safely
Re-run the git command from inside the worktree once it is created.
Notes
- If the user asks to proceed without a worktree, confirm explicitly before running git write operations.
