#!/usr/bin/env zsh # Create a temporary worktree. # # Useful for doing quick tasks on other branches without modifying the current # working tree. So no broken/outdated symlinks to dotfiles or unnecessary # recompiling after switching back for example. # # Checks out the first argument in a worktree at a temporary directory. Then # spawns an interactive shell inside of it. # When the shell closes the worktree is tried to be removed. Until that works # without problems (e.g. dirty), a new shell is spawned to resolve all conflicts # (e.g. stashing). # # Instead of dropping in an interactive shell, the commands to execute can be # passed via stdin. If any conflicts arise, all further shells are interactive. # TODO: Override with flag that just `stash -u` # # Examples for scripted usage: # Merge branches without leaving the current one: # % git-checkout-worktree main <<<"git merge dev" # # Same for rebase (as `git rebase dev feature` switches to `feature`): # % git-checkout-worktree feature <<<"git rebase dev" # emulate -L zsh -o err_return -o no_unset local REPO_NAME WORKTREE_PATH REPO_NAME="${$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel):t}" WORKTREE_PATH="$(mktemp -d -p "" "worktree.XXX.$REPO_NAME.${1//\//_}")" trap ' errc=$? <&2 printf "Exiting abnormally.
