claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Worktree branch created from wrong base branch and stale commit [1 participants]

TL;DR

Update Claude Code to correctly read the default branch from GitHub and fetch the latest state before creating a worktree.

Guidance

• Verify that Claude Code is configured to use the GitHub API or git remote show origin to determine the default branch of the repository.
• Check the Claude Code documentation for any options or settings that control the branch used when creating a worktree.
• Consider adding a step to the workflow that runs git fetch origin before Claude Code creates the worktree to ensure the latest commits are available.
• Test the worktree creation process with a repository that has a default branch other than main to confirm the issue is resolved.

Example

No explicit code example is provided, as the issue implies a configuration or workflow change rather than a code modification.

Notes

The solution assumes that Claude Code has the capability to read the default branch from GitHub and fetch the latest state. If this is not the case, additional development or changes to the tool may be required.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adding a git fetch origin step before worktree creation and configuring Claude Code to use the correct default branch, as upgrading to a fixed version is not explicitly mentioned as an option.
