Summary

• Add git-keizu.worktreePathTemplate. The default is ${repoPath}/../${repoName}-${branch}, so a new worktree is still suggested beside the repository.
• ${repoPath} and ${repoName} are the main worktree, including when the graph is open on a linked worktree. A template such as ${repoPath}/.worktrees/${branch} stays beside the main checkout instead of nesting another .worktrees directory inside the worktree that is open.
• The remaining expansion matches Better Worktrees. ${branch} stays one directory. A leading ~ is the home directory, a relative template resolves against the main worktree, an unknown placeholder is left as written, and a blank setting uses the default.
• Create Worktree and Create Worktree Here fill that path in, and it stays editable. Create Worktree Here keeps the path in step with the branch name until the path is edited. Changing the setting updates an open graph, so the next dialog uses the new template.
• Branch Cleanup actions include Create Worktree. It opens the same dialog. The button stays visible and is disabled when that branch is already checked out in a worktree, including the main checkout.
• Show in Graph, Create Worktree, and Delete are icons on one line. The name appears on hover, and a disabled Create Worktree hover also names the worktree that already has the branch. The actions column fills the panel and the icons sit on its right edge.

Thank you to Better Worktrees by Shivansh Thapliyal. The template language and path rules here follow that extension (MIT). ${repoPath} is the one deliberate difference: Better Worktrees uses the checkout that is open, including a linked worktree.

Test plan

• pnpm run format, oxlint, pnpm run typecheck, and pnpm run test:ci (3651 tests)
• From a branch named feature/x on the main checkout, Create Worktree suggests <repo>-feature-x beside the repository, and the path can still be edited before it is created
• With the graph open on a linked worktree, set "git-keizu.worktreePathTemplate": "${repoPath}/.worktrees/${branch}" and confirm the next dialog suggests <main-checkout>/.worktrees/<branch>, not a .worktrees directory inside the linked worktree
• In Create Worktree Here, typing the branch updates the path until the path field is edited
• In Branch Cleanup, Create Worktree is enabled for a branch that is not checked out in a worktree, and disabled for one that is
• The three action icons stay on one line at the right edge of the panel, and hovering each shows Show in Graph, Create Worktree..., or Delete...

Walkthrough

The change adds a Branch Cleanup action for creating worktrees and a configurable path template for worktree suggestions. The extension passes path settings to the webview, and both worktree creation dialogs use resolved suggestions.

Changes: Worktree Creation and Path Suggestions

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configure and resolve worktree paths package.json, package.nls*.json, src/config.ts, src/worktreePath.ts, tests/src/worktreePath.test.ts, tests/src/config-defaults.test.ts, ThirdPartyNotices.txt, README.md	Adds the worktreePathTemplate setting and default. The resolver expands placeholders, sanitizes branch names, and resolves POSIX and Windows paths. Tests and documentation cover template and resolution behavior.
Synchronize worktree path state src/types.ts, src/gitGraphView.ts, src/extension.ts, web/main.ts, web/messageHandler.ts, tests/src/extension.test.ts, tests/src/gitGraphView.test.ts, tests/web/main.test.ts, tests/web/messageHandler.test.ts, docs/testing/perspectives/src/gitGraphView-test/*	Adds worktree path state to the webview contract. The extension sends the current settings when the configuration changes. The webview updates its state and records main worktree paths.
Use path suggestions in creation dialogs web/worktreeSuggestion.ts, web/commitMenu.ts, web/refMenu.ts, web/utils.ts, tests/web/commitMenu.test.ts, tests/web/refMenu.test.ts, tests/web/utils.test.ts, docs/testing/perspectives/web/*, README.md, CHANGELOG.md	Both worktree creation dialogs use suggestedWorktreePath. Create Worktree Here updates the suggestion when the branch changes while the path still matches its previous suggestion. Documentation and tests describe the resolved paths.
Add Create Worktree to Branch Cleanup web/branchCleanupPanel.ts, web/main.ts, web/refMenu.ts, web/keyboardNavigation.ts, web/utils.ts, media/main.css, l10n/web/*, tests/web/branchCleanupPanel.test.ts, tests/web/main.keyboard.test.ts, tests/web/main.refOverflow.test.ts, tests/web/main.test.ts, tests/web/i18n.test.ts, tests/web/overlayLayers.test.ts, tests/web/setup.ts, README.md, CHANGELOG.md	Adds a Create Worktree button to branch rows. The button is disabled for branches already checked out or while a refresh is in progress. Enabled buttons open the creation dialog.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to fe5de

The documentation issue is fixed. An uncommon lookup failure may prefill the wrong location, but users can edit the path before creating a worktree; no merge-blocking risk remains.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 19c86

A delayed response after switching repositories can produce a worktree suggestion anchored to the wrong repository. The path remains visible and editable, creation requires confirmation, and operations retain existing user permissions.

Retained concerns

• Medium · reliability · inferred: If repository A's commit response arrives after selection changes to B, the new cache can record A's main-worktree path under B. Templates using repoPath or repoName can then suggest an A-anchored destination for B's worktree. Accepting that suggestion before a corrective response creates a cross-repository filesystem ownership mistake. Stale display handling predates this PR; using its result to choose creation destinations is new. Explicit confirmation and an editable path limit the impact.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated scope is worktree creation and optional terminal startup on the extension host's filesystem, under its existing process identity. A destination need not be repository-contained. The inspected flow does not establish additional privileges or an independently reachable remote attack path.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — The supported introduced concern is cross-repository destination confusion, not verified attacker-controlled execution: a stale response can supply another repository's path context, but a user must still accept the displayed suggestion. No mechanism for an attacker to force that acceptance was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Template text crosses from workspace configuration into webview data. Initial state uses script-safe JSON serialization, dialog defaults are HTML-escaped, and Git receives argument arrays through cp.spawn rather than shell interpolation. These controls counter template-to-script and shell-interpolation concerns in the inspected flow.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The creation sink and Git process handling are unchanged from the supplied base. Success permits optional terminal startup and graph refresh; failure follows existing status reporting. The PR adds no extension-owned creation rollback or interruption-recovery mechanism, and Git's internal recovery behavior was not verified.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Carry repository identity and a request generation through commit-load responses. Reject obsolete results before updating repository state or destination caches, and derive cache ownership from the matched request rather than the mutable current selection.

Describe the example path as inside the main worktree.

For a main worktree at /test/repo, ${repoPath}/.worktrees/${branch} resolves to /test/repo/.worktrees/<branch>, not a sibling directory. Replace “beside the main repository” with “under the main worktree” so users can choose the intended location. (nodejs.org)

🟡 Current branch gets unusable worktree action

When worktree lookup fails, checkedOut stays false even for a row marked isCurrent. Creating that worktree fails because the branch is already checked out in the current repository.

Learn more

Branch Cleanup reads the current-branch marker separately from worktree status. A failed worktree query leaves every row's status unknown, but the branch marked current still occupies the checkout that served the request. The button becomes enabled and opens a dialog that sends git worktree add for that branch; Git rejects the duplicate checkout. The marker comes from parseBranchSnapshot, and the unknown status comes from synthesizeWorktreeFact.

Example: In a repository on main, worktree enumeration fails but branch enumeration succeeds. The main row has isCurrent: true and worktree: { kind: "unknown" }. Clicking Create Worktree for main ends in a Git error instead of offering only available branches.

Recommended fix: Treat row.isCurrent === true as checked out even when row.worktree.kind is unknown. Keep the existing used-worktree guard for branches checked out elsewhere.

Suggested change

	const checkedOut = row.worktree.kind === "used";
	if (checkedOut || this.requestInFlight) {
	const checkedOut = row.isCurrent === true || row.worktree.kind === "used";
	if (checkedOut || this.requestInFlight) {

Thank you for this PR, and for crediting Better Worktrees so carefully. CI passes now that main's audit failure is fixed, and I'm trying the changes out in VS Code.

There is one thing I need before merging.

Required: license notice for the code ported from Node.js

normalizeString, the posix / win32 resolve, join, basename, and the two normalize helpers in src/worktreePath.ts follow Node.js lib/path.js closely (the structure, lastSegmentLength, even the // NOOP branch). That code is MIT ("Copyright Joyent, Inc. and other Node contributors."), so its copyright and permission notice need to ship with the extension.

A comment in the source header alone is not enough here. esbuild --minify strips ordinary comments, and the VSIX only contains out/. I checked a build of this branch, and even the existing Better Worktrees credit is not in out/web.min.js. So I added ThirdPartyNotices.txt to main in #121. It ships in the VSIX and currently lists Codicons.

Could you:

1. Bring the branch up to date with main (rebase or merge, whichever you prefer).

2. Add a Node.js entry to ThirdPartyNotices.txt, in the same format as the Codicons one. Something like:

   Node.js path module
   https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/main/lib/path.js
   Copyright Joyent, Inc. and other Node contributors.
   
   Files: src/worktreePath.ts (normalizeString and the posix / win32 resolve,
   join, basename and normalize helpers, adapted to TypeScript)
   
   Licensed under the MIT License:
   
   <the MIT permission notice from the top of lib/path.js>
   

3. Say in the header of src/worktreePath.ts which functions are adapted from Node.js lib/path.js, and point to ThirdPartyNotices.txt.

Optional

None of these block the merge, and I'm happy to pick them up in a follow-up if you'd rather not.

• src/worktreePath.ts header: it says relative templates resolve "against the repository", while the README and the setting description say "the main worktree". It would also help to note there that ${repoPath} being the main worktree is the one deliberate difference from Better Worktrees.
• src/types.ts: the mainWorktreePaths comment is hard to parse. Something like "Main worktree path per repository path the graph opens (the key may be a linked worktree). Set on each commit load; falls back to the repository path itself when git worktree list has no main entry."
• CHANGELOG.md: the entry says twice that unknown placeholders are left as written.
• README.md: the ${branch} rules don't mention that leading and trailing -, _ and . are dropped (-wip- becomes wip).
• windowsDriveDirectories: key.charCodeAt(0) === 61 could use a named constant like the neighbouring CHAR_COLON.
• Tests: no case reaches the win32 UNC branches (\\server\share\...), windowsDriveDirectories is only compared with itself on process.env, and ~ alone or a win32 ~\ prefix are not covered.

The test perspective docs under docs/testing/perspectives/ need a few follow-ups too (the index is regenerated by a script that isn't in the repo). I'll handle those after merging.

I built a VSIX from this branch and tried it in VS Code (on WSL) with a test repository that has a linked worktree. Everything in the manual test plan worked as described:

• From feature/offline-mode on the main checkout, Create Worktree suggested <repo>-feature-offline-mode beside the repository, and the path could still be edited.
• With the graph open on the linked worktree, the default template still used the main checkout's name, and ${repoPath}/.worktrees/${branch} suggested <main-checkout>/.worktrees/feature-offline-mode, not a directory inside the linked worktree.
• In Create Worktree Here, the path followed the branch name as I typed and stopped once I edited the path.
• Changing the setting while the graph was open took effect in the next dialog, and clearing it went back to the default.
• In Branch Cleanup, Create Worktree was disabled for main and for the branch checked out in the linked worktree, with the worktree shown on hover, and enabled for the others. Creating a worktree from there worked, and that row then showed it as in use.
• The three action icons stayed on one line at the right edge, and each showed its name on hover.

I haven't tried Windows paths. I've ticked the manual test items in the description.

Thank you again. This is a well-rounded feature, and I really appreciate that you also updated the Japanese strings and the test perspective docs.

Merged main into feat/worktree-path-template. The merge was clean.

The required license notice is in fe5def0:

• ThirdPartyNotices.txt now has a Node.js path module entry, with the MIT permission notice from the top of lib/path.js.
• The header of src/worktreePath.ts names normalizeString, the posix and win32 resolve / join / basename methods, and normalizePosix / normalizeWin32, and points at ThirdPartyNotices.txt.

The optional wording is in the same commit:

• Relative templates are described as resolving against the main worktree, and the header notes that ${repoPath} being the main worktree is the one deliberate difference from Better Worktrees.
• The mainWorktreePaths comment now says the key is the repository path the graph opens, that it is set on each commit load, and that a missing main entry falls back to that repository path.
• The changelog states once that an unknown placeholder is left as written, and still mentions constructor.
• The README says ${repoPath}/.worktrees/${branch} stays under the main worktree, and that leading and trailing -, _, and . are dropped (-wip- becomes wip).
• The = check in windowsDriveDirectories uses CHAR_EQUALS.

I left the extra Windows path tests (UNC, a fixture for windowsDriveDirectories, and ~ / ~\ alone) and the Branch Cleanup case where worktree lookup fails but the row is current. Happy for those to stay follow-ups. The perspective docs are untouched, as you offered to handle them after merging.

[numlia]

Thank you for the quick and thorough follow-up. I checked fe5def0: the Node.js notice matches the header of lib/path.js, the source header names the adapted functions, and the optional wording fixes read well. CI is green on the merge with main.

Merging now. I'll take care of the remaining Windows path tests, the Branch Cleanup case for a failed worktree lookup, and the test perspective docs in a follow-up PR.

Thanks again for contributing this feature.
