gemini-cli - 💡(How to fix) Fix Start gemini in existing worktree folder [1 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by modifying the gemini -w worktree command to handle existing worktrees or by using a different approach to run gemini in the worktree folder.

Guidance

• Check if the worktree already exists before running the gemini -w worktree command to avoid conflicts.
• Consider using a flag or option to force the creation of a new worktree or to reuse an existing one.
• Run gemini directly in the worktree folder using cd .gemini/worktrees/worktree && gemini as a temporary workaround.
• Investigate the internal design of gemini to determine if there's a more robust way to handle worktree creation and management.

Notes

The current implementation of gemini -w worktree does not handle existing worktrees, leading to errors when run multiple times. The desired behavior is to simplify the process of creating and managing worktrees.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: use cd .gemini/worktrees/worktree && gemini until a more robust solution is implemented, as it allows for running gemini in the worktree folder without conflicts.
