Git worktree is unusable under the new layout and designs mode in OpenCode Desktop v1.17.1 (Windows 11) #31686
Closed as not planned
Description
Description
Problem
Git worktree functions break completely when using the app's new layout and designs UI on Windows 11.
- There is no UI entry to create or manage Git worktrees.
- Manually created worktree folders are misidentified as duplicate projects of the main repository.
- Branch status and Git file state display abnormally when opening worktree directories.
- This issue only occurs with the new layout enabled; legacy layout is unaffected.
Expected Behavior
Support detecting, opening and managing Git worktrees natively inside the editor.
Actual Behavior
No built-in entry for worktree operations
Manually created worktree directories are misidentified as duplicate repos
Git status and branch info display incorrectly in worktree folders

These issues don’t align with the ones I raised. Their requirements mainly involve branches and jumping from subdirectories to the main repository. By contrast, I’m requesting the addition of the worktree feature to the new Desktop version — this functionality existed in the old release but was removed in the new one.

I don't understand why they removed that feature in the new UI. I just can't use opencode without worktree management, it's so much less powerful, and I already have a bunch of existing worktrees I've been working with.
I couldn't find the reason so far.
