claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix cc -w flag converts '/' to '+' in worktree path, fails to enter nested worktrees [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be worked around by changing into the worktree directory before running cc without the -w flag.

Guidance

• The problem seems to stem from the cc -w flag incorrectly sanitizing / characters in worktree paths to +, which leads to incorrect directory navigation.
• To verify the issue, try creating a worktree with a / in its path and then attempt to open it with cc -w.
• As a temporary workaround, use the provided method of changing into the worktree directory first and then running cc without the -w flag.
• Consider reviewing the documentation or source code of cc to understand how it handles worktree paths and the -w flag, which might provide insight into a more permanent fix.

Example

cd .claude/worktrees/change/2026-04-14-my-feature
cc

Notes

This workaround assumes that the issue is specifically with the -w flag's handling of / characters in worktree paths. If the problem persists or the workaround is not feasible, further investigation into cc's handling of worktree paths may be necessary.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by changing into the worktree directory before running cc without the -w flag, as it provides a reliable method to navigate to the correct worktree directory despite the issue with the -w flag.
