I think this could do with more setup and motivation. I’ve seen a lot of questions on worktrees where they introduce the problem with “I use a bare repository with worktrees”. And I was puzzled that they kept using bare repositories all the time. I’ve forgotten some of those details but I do seem to remember that they were motivated to go all-in on making a ton of worktrees, and using the the “project root” to do it. Is that what the bare-setup is getting at? ;)

This works for me. But why not this?
git clone --bare <repo> some-repository
cd some-repository
git worktree add some-branch
git worktree add another-branch
