git clone --shared . ../new-worktree (Provide branch options, etc., as desired?) With "git config --global alias.new-workdir 'clone --shared'" or similar, you might even have less finger re-training to do. Alternatively, you could maintain the script yourself by e.g. copying it to somewhere on your $PATH or extracting the contrib/workdir history into a repo of your choice. -- D. Ben Knoble
