docs: refresh agent guides, README flags, and troubleshooting for v2.11 - #197
Conversation
AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md were last updated before the pr and trust commands, clean --closed, sparse-checkout inheritance, --porcelain, and postCd hooks landed. AGENTS.md also pointed at a nonexistent adapters/ai/Codex.sh left over from a global rename. - AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md: add pr/trust to the dispatch table, describe cd handling, list the current 29 BATS files, fix the lib/commands count, document pr, --porcelain, sparse inheritance, clean --closed, postCd, gtr.defaultBranch/defaultRemote/provider, GTR_DEBUG, and link docs/agent-usage.md and docs/troubleshooting.md - README: add --sparse/--no-sparse to git gtr new, add Maintainers to the table of contents - docs/agent-usage.md: document --no-hooks/--no-copy/--no-fetch for minimal-side-effect automation worktrees - docs/configuration.md: add GTR_WORKTREES_PREFIX, GTR_DEFAULT_BRANCH, GTR_EDITOR_DEFAULT, GTR_AI_DEFAULT and note env vars are fallbacks - docs/troubleshooting.md: replace the non-working `bash -x git gtr` advice with GTR_DEBUG=1 and a direct-script trace - CHANGELOG: record the docs changes under Unreleased

In `@AGENTS.md`:
- Line 61: Update the hook execution documentation in AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md at
the affected line ranges to describe the actual postCd dispatch paths:
run_hooks_export in lib/commands/ai.sh and lib/launch.sh, plus direct eval
execution in lib/commands/init.sh; do not list postCd as handled only by
run_hooks_in.
In `@docs/agent-usage.md`:
- Around line 48-51: Update the two git gtr new examples in the side-effect
usage section to use distinct branch names, or clearly mark them as
alternatives, so executing them sequentially does not attempt to recreate
agent/my-task.
In `@docs/configuration.md`:
- Around line 502-503: Update the precedence statement to apply only to
environment variables handled by cfg_default and cfg_default_trusted_file.
Document separately that GTR_DIR is resolved before configuration loading,
NO_COLOR overrides gtr.ui.color, GTR_COLOR is read directly, and
GTR_EDITOR_CMD/GTR_AI_CMD are adapter globals rather than configuration
fallbacks.

… entry-point diagram - AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md: postCd hooks run through run_hooks_export (from lib/launch.sh and lib/commands/ai.sh) and the init-generated shell functions, not run_hooks_in; postRemove uses run_hooks - docs/configuration.md: limit the fallback-precedence statement to the cfg_default-backed variables; GTR_DIR, GTR_EDITOR_CMD, GTR_AI_CMD, GTR_COLOR and NO_COLOR are read directly - docs/agent-usage.md: side-effect examples use distinct branch names so they can be run in sequence - docs/troubleshooting.md: bin/git-gtr is the entry point and bin/gtr the wrapper; list the remaining lib modules in the architecture diagram
|
Addressed the outside-diff comment on docs/troubleshooting.md in 8e550cb: the architecture diagram now identifies bin/git-gtr as the entry point and bin/gtr as the development wrapper, and lists the args, provider, adapters, launch and commands/ modules that were missing from the lib/ tree. |
The review of #197 established that run_hooks_in does not handle postCd. This PR added the same incorrect claim: run_hooks evaluates each hook in a subshell and serves postRemove, run_hooks_in adds a cd for postCreate and preRemove, and postCd goes through run_hooks_export or the eval loop inside the init-generated shell functions.
The Unreleased entry did not mention two changes this PR now makes: the environment-variable precedence split in docs/configuration.md and the corrected entry-point diagram in docs/troubleshooting.md, plus the postCd dispatch correction in the agent guides.
An independent verification pass against the code disproved two assertions added here: - GTR_DEBUG does not print file:line:function. bin/git-gtr installs an ERR trap but uses `set -e` without `set -E`, so the trap is not inherited by functions and never fires for failures inside cmd_* handlers. Confirmed with a minimal repro, which stays silent under `set -e` and fires under `set -eE`, and against the real binary. The troubleshooting step is now a trace of the real script, and the agent guides note the limitation. - postCd hooks reach the AI tool only. Both run_hooks_export call sites are AI paths; _auto_launch_editor, _open_editor and cmd_editor run no hooks.

Picks up the set -eE fix from #199. The agent guides and troubleshooting steps now describe GTR_DEBUG as working rather than inert, and the changelog distinguishes the two postCd dispatch paths per review: the AI launch path runs them when the tool starts, while the init-generated shell functions run them for gtr cd and the --cd flows.

Summary
Docs-only. Brings the contributor/agent guides and a few user-facing pages back in line with what shipped in v2.9.0 through v2.11.0, and fixes two outright errors.
Errors fixed
AGENTS.mdsaid it was guidance for "Codex (Codex.ai/code)" and pointed atadapters/ai/Codex.sh, which does not exist.
