Worktree Check

Ensure git write operations happen inside an isolated worktree.

When to Use

•Before git commit, git push, git merge, or git rebase
•When unsure if you are in a worktree

Verify Worktree

bash

# 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)

bash

# 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.
