Symptoms#

A workspace fails to create, open, archive, delete, or show expected file changes.

First checks#

• Confirm the source repository path still exists.
• Check that the target branch or base branch is valid.
• Make sure another Git worktree is not already holding the same branch.
• Inspect the working tree for uncommitted or conflicting state.

Common causes#

Workspace errors often come from missing repositories, branch conflicts, deleted local files, Git permission problems, or interrupted setup steps.

Recovery#

If the workspace has valuable changes, inspect the folder before deleting anything. If it has no useful changes, create a new workspace from a clean branch and retry the task.
