Overview

Handle edge cases with clear error messages for robust operation.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Nested worktrees: Git will error — surface the error clearly (e.g., "Cannot create worktree inside another worktree.")
  • Detached HEAD states in worktrees: Use path instead of branch name for identification when in detached HEAD state
  • Untracked files preventing removal: Suggest removing or moving them first with a clear message
  • Worktrees on the same branch: Let git handle it, surface the error if it fails (e.g., "Cannot create worktree: branch already checked out elsewhere.")

Implementation Notes

Add specific error handling in each tool's execute function to detect and report these edge cases.

Validation

  • Test each edge case scenario manually and verify appropriate error messages are displayed

Delete branch "%!s()"

Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
