Note at least for BASH, you need to actually do this as a function alias.

Feature request for automatic worktree checkout
Currently if I have a branch checked out in a work-tree, git-checkout will show this error message when checking out that branch: $ git checkout master fatal: 'master' is already checked out at '/home/dashesy/development/feature' It would be very useful to instead of this error just change the current working directory, so git checkout would become a `cd` command Ehsan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
