Git Worktree

I have the main branch which is develop checkout in the main repository.
And I have added multiple working trees, 3 for feature development, 1 for reviews, 1 for refactoring and 1 for my experiments.

❯ git worktree list
/Users/shubham.kumar/Projects/GreyOrange/mvts/vrp-obts-rec  f3d4d139 [develop]
/Users/shubham.kumar/Projects/GreyOrange/mvts/experiments   f51d0c4a [experiments]
/Users/shubham.kumar/Projects/GreyOrange/mvts/feature1      d5e909aa [GM-227928-changes]
/Users/shubham.kumar/Projects/GreyOrange/mvts/feature2      30b9f1d4 [GM-220725-more-changes]
/Users/shubham.kumar/Projects/GreyOrange/mvts/feature3      10247d47 [GM-223556]

Rename worktree

I tend to rename my feature worktrees so that I can easily identify the feature I'm working with.
There isn't any worktree rename command, you can use move command instead.

git worktree move ../feature1 GithubActionCommitMsg

Add new worktree

git worktree add ../<worktreename> <branchname>

Remove a worktree

git worktree remove <worktreename>

Call worktree from root directory

I do not want to get inside the main repo or any other features repo to call the git command.
For this, I have created a bash function that works as an alias to git and checks if I'm in the mvts repo then call worktree from vrp-obts-rec directory.

This is written in .zshrc as I use zsh, you can write this in .bashrc if you use bash or other rc files of your respective terminal

function git() {
  if [[ "$PWD" == "/Users/shubham.kumar/Projects/GreyOrange/mvts" ]]; then
    command git --git-dir=vrp-obts-rec/.git "$@"
  else
    command git "$@"
  fi
}
