Although "git worktree add" learned to run the 'post-checkout' hook inade546be47(worktree: invoke post-checkout hook, 2017-12-07), it neglected to change to the directory of the newly-created worktree before running the hook. Instead, the hook runs within the directory from which the "git worktree add" command itself was invoked, which effectively neuters the hook since it knows nothing about the new worktree directory. Further,ade546be47failed to sanitize the environment before running the hook, which means that user-assigned values of GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE could mislead the hook about the location of the new worktree. In the case of "git worktree add" being run from a bare repository, the GIT_DIR="." assigned by Git itself leaks into the hook's environment and breaks Git commands; this is so even when the working directory is correctly changed to the new worktree before the hook runs since ".", relative to the new worktree directory, does not point at the bare repository. Fix these problems by (1) changing to the new worktree's directory before running the hook, and (2) sanitizing the environment of GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE so hooks can't be confused by misleading values. Enhance the t2025 'post-checkout' tests to verify that the hook is indeed run within the correct directory and that Git commands invoked by the hook compute Git-dir and top-level worktree locations correctly. While at it, also add two new tests: (1) verify that the hook is run within the correct directory even when the new worktree is created from a sibling worktree (as opposed to the main worktree); (2) verify that the hook is provided with correct context when the new worktree is created from a bare repository (test provided by Lars Schneider). Implementation Notes: Rather than sanitizing the environment of GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE, an alternative would be to set them explicitly, as is already done for other Git commands run internally by "git worktree add". This patch opts instead to sanitize the environment in order to clearly document that the worktree is fully functional by the time the hook is run, thus does not require special environmental overrides. The hook is run manually, rather than via run_hook_le(), since it needs to change the working directory to that of the worktree, and run_hook_le() does not provide such functionality. As this is a one-off case, adding 'run_hook' overloads which allow the directory to be set does not seem warranted at this time.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
