Hi Pratyush, Thank you so so so very much for responding quickly. I am learning git to assist my teams skill up on git. My current version is v2.23.0 which I downloaded and installed a month ago. Nevertheless, I have downloaded and installed v2.24.0 and the problem still persists. I have the following environment variable set GIT_DIR=C:\GitRepo GIT_HOME=C:\tools\Git Please find below output from my command. C:\test\Local_Newfeature>git branch * Local_Kumfeature_branch Local_MyTest_branch + Local_Newfeature_branch + Local_SGSfeature_branch Local_feature_branch C:\test\Local_Newfeature>git worktree list C:\GitRepo (bare) C:/test/Local_Kumfeature b0a097e [Local_Kumfeature_branch] C:/test/Local_Newfeature b0a097e [Local_Newfeature_branch] C:/test/Local_SGSfeature b0a097e [Local_SGSfeature_branch] C:\test\Local_Newfeature>git --work-tree=C:\test\Local_Newfeature status On branch Local_Kumfeature_branch Your branch is up to date with 'Lakshman/feature_branch'. nothing to commit, working tree clean Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
