Repository navigation
does not work with GITs 2.5 worktree feature #344
Description
Activity
- added a commit that references this issue
on Aug 29, 2015 Thank for letting me know !
As GitPython is in maintenance mode, I won't be adding any new features. However, I added a check to throw an exception specific to worktrees, letting people know the feature is not supported that way.
Thanks for your understanding
You can watch the development stream on youtube.
GitPython #23 [issue 344 - explicitly state worktrees are unsupported]Hi @fooishbar , the reason for closing this issue is still valid, despite the recent major release. The latter just means there have been breaking API changes, that could affect people negatively.
@fooishbar I don't, but that means nothing. Most people might help themselves by using GitPython to call git in a more pythonic fashion, which is why this library is still used a lot.
Hi, I was wondering if there was any support for this issue yet?
It would be great if support for additional worktrees is added. Now I'll have to abandon GitPython and find another solution.
For future reference - I figured out how to use worktree. It's not wrapped but interacting with Repo.git manually works perfectly fine.
Tutorial here; #719
Steps to reproduce (assumes GIT >= 2.5 and a repo with at least 2 branches)
git checkout <whatever>git worktree add /tmp/foo another_branch/tmp/fooimport git; git.Repo('.')in Pythongit.exc.InvalidGitRepositoryError
