The problem is that the paths of the worktrees in $GIT_DIR/worktrees/worktree_name/gitdir are rewritten to read .git instead of /path/to/worktree/root/.git after a git reset --hard (and potentially other operations) which causes all worktrees in git worktree list to point to the current worktree instead of the main repository path. Let me demonstrate: # git worktree list /Users/user/Desktop/Source/Product 2991e32 [master] /Users/user/Desktop/Source/Product-2.1 3fc1082 [releases/master-2.1] /Users/user/Desktop/Source/Product-2.2 3ccc3fe [releases/master-2.2] /Users/user/Desktop/Source/Product-2.3 4044881 [releases/master-2.3] # cd /Users/user/Desktop/Source/Product-2.1 # git reset --hard # cd /Users/user/Desktop/Source/Product-2.2 # git reset --hard # cd /Users/user/Desktop/Source/Product # git worktree list /Users/user/Desktop/Source/Product 2991e32 [master] /Users/user/Desktop/Source/Product 3fc1082 [releases/master-2.1] /Users/user/Desktop/Source/Product 3ccc3fe [releases/master-2.2] /Users/user/Desktop/Source/Product-2.3 4044881 [releases/master-2.3] Servus, Daniel
