I have multiple repos with more than 20 worktrees, and sometimes forget the name of a recently added worktree. Therefore it would really be nice if I could use something like ‘git worktree list —created’ to list them by their creation timestamp. Is that something that makes sense to you as well? I could also create a pull request for this if you would like it.
I don't think this is warranted as a feature for a special-purpose use-case. Assuming you don't have spaces in your worktree directory names, git worktree list | cut -d' ' -f1 | xargs ls -ldtr lists the worktree directories by modification time. The last is the one that was modified most recently. That should help your memory. -- Hannes
