Git Worktree

Git Worktree

Git worktree 可以根據 branch 變出一個 directory。 只要進入 directory，就相當於切換到 branch 上工作。

$ git switch main && git branch doc/worktree
Already on 'main'

$ git branch # list the branches
  doc/worktree
* main

$ git worktree list # list the worktrees, project root is also one
/home/ht/Desktop/example  d50908e [main]

$ git worktree add doc-worktree doc/worktree # add doc-worktree directory
Preparing worktree (checking out 'doc/worktree')
HEAD is now at d50908e Add: something not expected

$ git worktree list
/home/ht/Desktop/example               d50908e [main]
/home/ht/Desktop/example/doc-worktree  d50908e [doc/worktree]

$ cd doc-worktree  # change directory

$ git status  # you can see your're on the doc/worktree branch
On branch doc/worktree
nothing to commit, working tree clean

# edit things yourself, git add, git commit

$ cd ..  # goto the parent directory

$ rm -rf doc-worktree && git worktree prune

$ git worktree list
/home/ht/Desktop/example  d50908e [main]
