I?m a bit confused about this, as I thought I understood worktrees :(. /home/randall/nsgit/test/test dir.mytest/dest git worktree list /home/randall/nsgit/test/test dir.mytest/dest: git worktree list /home/randall/nsgit/test/test dir.mytest/dest 4e901ca [master] /home/randall/nsgit/test/test dir.mytest/dest.wt 4e901ca [dest.wt] /home/randall/nsgit/test/test dir.mytest/dest: find . -name dest.wt ./.git/logs/refs/heads/dest.wt ./.git/refs/heads/dest.wt ./.git/worktrees/dest.wt /home/randall/nsgit/test/test dir.mytest/dest/.git: cd worktrees/dest.wt /home/randall/nsgit/test/test dir.mytest/dest/.git/worktrees/dest.wt: ls HEAD ORIG_HEAD commondir gitdir index logs /home/randall/nsgit/test/test dir.mytest/dest/.git/worktrees/dest.wt: cat gitdir /home/randall/nsgit/test/test dir.mytest/dest.wt/.git /home/randall/nsgit/test/test dir.mytest/dest/.git/worktrees/dest.wt: ls HEAD ORIG_HEAD commondir gitdir index logs /home/randall/nsgit/test/test dir.mytest/dest/.git/worktrees/dest.wt: cd ../../../.. /home/randall/nsgit/test/test dir.mytest: rm -rf dest.wt /home/randall/nsgit/test/test dir.mytest: cd dest /home/randall/nsgit/test/test dir.mytest/dest: git worktree prune -v Removing worktrees/dest.wt: gitdir file points to non-existent location It seems like one or two situations are a problem: 1) I?m using a full path for the worktree. 2) There?s a blank in my path ? deliberate? tests, yanno. This is git 2.16.2. Could anyone shed some light on this? Cheers, Randall
