Re: working directory status

[Sivanandan Srilakshmanan <ssrilaks@gmail.com>]

Hi Pratyush,

Thank you so so so very much for responding quickly. I am learning git
to assist my teams skill up on git.

My current version is v2.23.0 which I downloaded and installed a month
ago. Nevertheless, I have downloaded and installed v2.24.0 and the
problem still persists.

I have the following environment variable set
GIT_DIR=C:\GitRepo
GIT_HOME=C:\tools\Git

Please find below output from my command.

C:\test\Local_Newfeature>git branch
* Local_Kumfeature_branch
  Local_MyTest_branch
+ Local_Newfeature_branch
+ Local_SGSfeature_branch
  Local_feature_branch


C:\test\Local_Newfeature>git worktree list
C:\GitRepo                (bare)
C:/test/Local_Kumfeature  b0a097e [Local_Kumfeature_branch]
C:/test/Local_Newfeature  b0a097e [Local_Newfeature_branch]
C:/test/Local_SGSfeature  b0a097e [Local_SGSfeature_branch]



C:\test\Local_Newfeature>git --work-tree=C:\test\Local_Newfeature status
On branch Local_Kumfeature_branch
Your branch is up to date with 'Lakshman/feature_branch'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean


Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Lakshman
