worktree-status

Check your git worktree status by listing all worktrees and analyzing the active directory's cleanliness. This identifies the likely-active worktree and reports its path and branch to ensure you only edit files in the correct working location.

Verify the active git worktree using recorded data and heuristics applied to the worktree list. This detects the likely-active worktree, confirms its current branch, and provides a clear reminder to perform feature work inside that specific directory.

Git status shows unexpected changes because you are likely operating outside the active worktree. Running a worktree sanity-check identifies the correct working directory and confirms repository cleanliness, preventing unintended modifications in non-active branches.

The best way to manage multiple git worktrees is to run a status check that lists all directories, detects the active branch, and enforces guardrails. This prevents accidental cross-directory edits and maintains repository cleanliness across your workflow.

Yes, you need an existing git repository with worktrees configured. The status check runs git worktree list and git status commands to identify your active working directory, meaning a initialized repository structure is required for the sanity-check.

If the status check finds no active worktree, it suggests creating one to maintain proper guardrails. This ensures you have a designated working directory for feature work and prevents untracked changes in your primary repository branch.
