DESCRIPTION
tree is associated with the repository. This new working tree is called a
"linked working tree" as opposed to the "main working tree" prepared by "git
init" or "git clone". A repository has one main working tree (if it's not a
-bare repository) and zero or more linked working trees.
+bare repository) and zero or more linked working trees. When you are done
+with a linked working tree, remove it with `git worktree remove`.
-When you are done with a linked working tree you can simply delete it.
-The working tree's administrative files in the repository (see
-"DETAILS" below) will eventually be removed automatically (see
+If a working tree is deleted without using `git worktree remove`, then
+its associated administrative files, which reside in the repository
+(see "DETAILS" below), will eventually be removed automatically (see
`gc.worktreePruneExpire` in linkgit:git-config[1]), or you can run
`git worktree prune` in the main or any linked working tree to
clean up any stale administrative files.
-If you move a linked working tree, you need to manually update the
-administrative files so that they do not get pruned automatically. See
-section "DETAILS" for more information.
-
If a linked working tree is stored on a portable device or network share
which is not always mounted, you can prevent its administrative files from
being pruned by issuing the `git worktree lock` command, optionally
directory specific files such as HEAD, index, etc. `-` may also be
specified as `<commit-ish>`; it is synonymous with `@{-1}`.
+
-If <commit-ish> is a branch name (call it `<branch>` and is not found,
+If <commit-ish> is a branch name (call it `<branch>`) and is not found,
and neither `-b` nor `-B` nor `--detach` are used, but there does
exist a tracking branch in exactly one remote (call it `<remote>`)

------------
$ git worktree add --track -b <branch> <path> <remote>/<branch>

+
If `<commit-ish>` is omitted and neither `-b` nor `-B` nor `--detach` used,
- then, as a convenience, a new branch based at HEAD is created automatically,
- as if `-b $(basename <path>)` was specified.
+ then, as a convenience, the new worktree is associated with a branch
+ (call it `<branch>`) named after `$(basename <path>)`. If `<branch>`
+ doesn't exist, a new branch based on HEAD is automatically created as
+ if `-b <branch>` was given. If `<branch>` does exist, it will be
+ checked out in the new worktree, if it's not checked out anywhere
+ else, otherwise the command will refuse to create the worktree (unless
+ `--force` is used).
list::
being moved or deleted. Optionally, specify a reason for the lock
with `--reason`.
+move::
+
+Move a working tree to a new location. Note that the main working tree
+or linked working trees containing submodules cannot be moved.
+
prune::
Prune working tree information in $GIT_DIR/worktrees.
+remove::
+
+Remove a working tree. Only clean working trees (no untracked files
+and no modification in tracked files) can be removed. Unclean working
+trees or ones with submodules can be removed with `--force`. The main
+working tree cannot be removed.
+
unlock::
Unlock a working tree, allowing it to be pruned, moved or deleted.
-f::

- is already checked out by another working tree. This option overrides

$GIT_DIR or $GIT_COMMON_DIR when you need to directly access something
inside $GIT_DIR. Use `git rev-parse --git-path` to get the final path.
-If you move a linked working tree, you need to update the 'gitdir' file
+If you manually move a linked working tree, you need to update the 'gitdir' file
in the entry's directory. For example, if a linked working tree is moved
to `/newpath/test-next` and its `.git` file points to
`/path/main/.git/worktrees/test-next`, then update
details on a single line with columns. For example:
------------
-S git worktree list
+$ git worktree list
/path/to/bare-source (bare)
/path/to/linked-worktree abcd1234 [master]
/path/to/other-linked-worktree 1234abc (detached HEAD)
example:
------------
-S git worktree list --porcelain
+$ git worktree list --porcelain
worktree /path/to/bare-source
bare
# ... hack hack hack ...
$ git commit -a -m 'emergency fix for boss'
$ popd
-$ rm -rf ../temp
-$ git worktree prune
+$ git worktree remove ../temp
------------
BUGS
for submodules is incomplete. It is NOT recommended to make multiple
checkouts of a superproject.
-git-worktree could provide more automation for tasks currently
-performed manually, such as:
-
-- `remove` to remove a linked working tree and its administrative files (and
- warn if the working tree is dirty)
-- `mv` to move or rename a working tree and update its administrative files
-
