Visual Studio Code most likely does not look at .git for worktree changes. As to the Typescript compiler: it should only look for .ts files, I would be very surprised if it was confused by .git's filesystem attributes changing! If tsw is still confused, try adding "exclude": [ ".git" ] to your tsconfig.json. Ciao, Johannes
