git worktree list
git worktree list lists all working trees connected to a Git repository. Its output shows each worktree's directory path, associated commit, and active branch when available. This command helps you see which branch is checked out in each directory when using multiple worktrees.
git worktree list
/home/user/project abc1234 [main]
/home/user/feature def5678 [feature]Interpreting the List Output
Each line represents a worktree, and the full directory path appears at the beginning of the line. The short identifier after the path shows the commit associated with that worktree. Branch information appears inside square brackets; a detached worktree may show a different reference instead of a branch.
/projects/app a1b2c3d [main]
/projects/test d4e5f6a [testing]In this output, two separate directories are associated with two different branches.
Practice Display the Worktree List
Create a command variable representing a Git command. This command should list all working trees connected to the repository. Then print the variable's value.
