Operations Worktree

Purpose

Create and manage worktrees safely and consistently across projects while avoiding stale branch bases.

When to use

You need a new task branch in a new worktree.
You are juggling many concurrent worktrees.
You need to avoid branching from stale local main or local HEAD.

Workflow

Ensure you are inside the target repository (main checkout or any linked worktree).
Create a new worktree with the shell wrapper:
- gwt new <branch>
- Optional explicit base: gwt new <branch> <start-point>
If shell wrappers are unavailable, use raw git safely:
- default=$(git symbolic-ref --quiet --short refs/remotes/origin/HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo origin/main)
- base=${default#origin/}
- git fetch origin "$base" --prune
- git worktree add -b <branch> <path> "origin/$base"
For OpenClaw PR review worktrees, prefer that repository's native PR review-init helper instead of hand-assembling refs.

Inputs

Branch name (required)
Optional start-point (branch/tag/commit)
Optional destination path (for raw git mode)

Outputs

New linked worktree checked out on the target branch.
Default base anchored to a fetched remote default branch unless explicitly overridden.
