------------
Note that the annotation is moved to the next line if the additional
information is available, otherwise it stays on the same line as the
worktree itself.
Porcelain Format
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The porcelain format has a line per attribute. If `-z` is given then the lines
are terminated with NUL rather than a newline. Attributes are listed with a
label and value separated by a single space. Boolean attributes (like `bare`
and `detached`) are listed as a label only, and are present only
if the value is true. Some attributes (like `locked`) can be listed as a label
only or with a value depending upon whether a reason is available. The first
attribute of a worktree is always `worktree`, an empty line indicates the
end of the record. For example:
------------
$ git worktree list --porcelain
worktree /path/to/bare-source
bare
worktree /path/to/linked-worktree
HEAD abcd1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd1234
branch refs/heads/master
worktree /path/to/other-linked-worktree
HEAD 1234abc1234abc1234abc1234abc1234abc1234a
detached
worktree /path/to/linked-worktree-locked-no-reason
HEAD 5678abc5678abc5678abc5678abc5678abc5678c
branch refs/heads/locked-no-reason
locked
worktree /path/to/linked-worktree-locked-with-reason
HEAD 3456def3456def3456def3456def3456def3456b
branch refs/heads/locked-with-reason
locked reason why is locked
worktree /path/to/linked-worktree-prunable
HEAD 1233def1234def1234def1234def1234def1234b
detached
prunable gitdir file points to non-existent location
------------
Unless `-z` is used any "unusual" characters in the lock reason such as newlines
are escaped and the entire reason is quoted as explained for the
configuration variable `core.quotePath` (see linkgit:git-config[1]).
For Example:
------------
$ git worktree list --porcelain
...
locked "reason\nwhy is locked"
...
------------
EXAMPLES
--------
You are in the middle of a refactoring session and your boss comes in and
demands that you fix something immediately. You might typically use
linkgit:git-stash[1] to store your changes away temporarily, however, your
working tree is in such a state of disarray (with new, moved, and removed
files, and other bits and pieces strewn around) that you don't want to risk
disturbing any of it. Instead, you create a temporary linked worktree to
make the emergency fix, remove it when done, and then resume your earlier
refactoring session.
------------
$ git worktree add -b emergency-fix ../temp master
$ pushd ../temp
# ... hack hack hack ...
$ git commit -a -m 'emergency fix for boss'
$ popd
$ git worktree remove ../temp
------------
BUGS
----
Multiple checkout in general is still experimental, and the support
for submodules is incomplete. It is NOT recommended to make multiple
checkouts of a superproject.
