alt Hacker NewsI want a variant of this where I make a worktree that has no ability to push anywhere including its parent. Instead the parent worktree pulls from it automatically. That way I can run some sandboxed workflow that might arbitrarily corrupt the work tree, possibly overwriting everything in it and symlinked from it, without losing data.

The easy way to do this is to create a worktree and then just run it in some form of sandbox - e.g. a Docker container.
In the worktree there is no .git directory, just a .git file which has a single line: "gitdir: <path to gitdir>".
If your sandbox doesn't have access to the gitdir, you're golden.

Don’t you just want a clone in that case?
