Best way to use jj with a git clone --bare worktree setup

[ahmedelgabri]

I usually use git worktrees like this

mkdir -p "./project"

cd "./project"

git clone --bare "https://github.com/ahmedelgabri/project" .bare

echo "gitdir: ./.bare" > .git

git config remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*"

git fetch --all

This gives me the following folder structure

./project
|__ .bare/
|__ .git

And then when I add new worktrees I add them as children of ./project

./project
|__ .bare/
|__ .git
|__ main/
|__ featureA/
|__ hotifx/

So I'm still picking up jj and wondering how can I use it inside such setup? Or should I change my approach in general?

Have you seen #5913? Its about a similar workflow. The discussion we had in the Discord about it was that you can achieve the same thing if you sparse out everything and then re-add workspaces with these views.

Thanks @PhilipMetzger, will have a look at the discussion.

If you can share a link to the discussion on Discord this will be great too.
