majordomus worktree inspect

One branch: its canonical path, whether it exists, what occupies the path, the worktree holding it, and what stands in the way

majordomus worktree inspect

Usage

majordomus worktree inspect [OPTIONS] <BRANCH>

Arguments

argumentvaluedefaultdescription
<BRANCH> <BRANCH> required The branch, full name
--repo <PATH> — Start the search for the repository root here (default: the current directory) (accepted by every subcommand)
--discovery vcs | filesystem vcs How declarative files are enumerated (accepted by every subcommand)
  • vcs — Tracked files, through the version-control index (the layer's contract); a layer none of which is tracked is read from the work tree
  • filesystem — A walk of the work tree with the same glob semantics; untracked files included
--strict flag — Refuse to proceed when any file of the layer carries an error diagnostic (accepted by every subcommand)
--share <DIR> — The tool distribution's share directory (kinds.yaml, schemas/); default: $MAJORDOMUS_SHARE, then the repository's own share/, then the one beside the executable (accepted by every subcommand)
--format text | json text Output shape (accepted by every subcommand)
  • text — Lines for a person
  • json — One JSON document, deterministic

Examples

  • One branch, before creating its worktree

    Where the branch's worktree belongs, whether the branch exists, whether anything occupies the path, and what would stand in the way. For a branch that does not exist yet, the answer is the path `worktree create` would use and the command to run.

    $ majordomus worktree inspect feature/new-dashboard

    What it asserts: exits 0; prints -wt/feature/new-dashboard, does not exist yet.

    Tested by apps/majordomus-cli/tests/cli_examples.rs, which runs the command against the built executable and asserts what the page states.

Where this comes from

Declared once in apps/majordomus-cli/src/cli.rs: clap for the structure, typed Rust metadata beside it for the examples. This page, majordomus worktree inspect --help, docs/generated/cli.md and docs/generated/cli.json are projections of that one declaration.

The whole command line on one page: the registry's command-line page. The task lifecycle (init, start, finish, doctor, ...) belongs to the shell tool, a different program: Commands and its specification.
