Git worktree helper. Because it cd's for you, you have to `source work.sh` in your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc`.

work.sh

work () {
    cd ~/my-base-repository.git
    git fetch
    if [ -n "$1" ]
    then
        if [ -d "$1" ]
        then
            cd "$1"
        elif git show-ref --verify --quiet "refs/heads/$1"
        then
            echo "Local branch '$1' already exists - creating worktree"
            git worktree add "$1" "$1"
            cd "$1"
            bun i
        elif git show-ref --verify --quiet "refs/remotes/origin/$1"
        then
            echo "Branch '$1' exists on remote - creating worktree tracking origin/$1"
            git worktree add --track -b "$1" "$1" "origin/$1"
            cd "$1"
            bun i
        else
            echo "Branch '$1' not found anywhere - creating new branch"
            git worktree add -b "$1" "$1"
            cd "$1"
            bun i
        fi
    else
        cd main
    fi
}

The echo's are for debugging, so you can remove them if you want (they don't affect anything, so why would you)

usage:

work alex/pf-118-feat-some-issue

end result:

$ pwd
~/my-base-repository.git/alex/pf-118-feat-some-issue

Only works with git worktrees. That's the documentation link, or you can watch The Primeagen's video
