Git Stash & Worktree Woes

Question

I\'m having a helluva time getting git to cooperate with my user-defined worktree that exists outside the folder that contains my .git directory.

Answer 1

git --git-dir= --work-tree= stash

should work. Have you tried absolute paths?

UPDATE:

seems to be a bug. The extended functionality of --git-dir option was only added recently and some commands like git stash don't have the new implementation yet.

git-stash is a bash script. You could hack it and remove the require working dir check then cd into the working folder.
