How to initialize a bare git repo with nice worktree structure

my-awesome-project
 - git-technical-directory
 - new-feature
 - hotfix

Start with a directory and clone your remote:

git clone --bare [email protected]:myname:my-awesome-project.git .bare
echo "gitdir: ./.bare" > .git

Next up, you can add branches as worktrees with:

git worktree add new-feature
git worktree add hotfix master

The directory should look something like this now:

my-awesome-project
 - .bare
 - .git
 - new-feature
 - hotfix

How to ignore file changes in a file, without using gitignore?

This is, for instance, usefull when having a file tracked by git with secret contents. You can have the file in your repository with defaults and then change your local data. --skip-worktree will help to keep git status silent without the need to actually ignore the file.

Skip file changes:

git update-index --skip-worktree <file_name>

Undo Operation:

git update-index --no-skip-worktree <file_name>
