- Delete worktrees with confirmation
Implementation includes:
- New proto definitions for worktree service RPCs
- Controller handlers for CRUD operations
- Git worktree utility functions
- WorktreesView React component with full UI
- Navbar integration with worktree button
* feat: enhance worktree creation error handling in WorktreesView
Adds error state management for worktree creation in the WorktreesView component. Introduces a new state variable to capture and display error messages when worktree creation fails, improving user feedback during the process.
* feat: add worktree defaults retrieval to WorktreeService and UI
Introduces a new RPC method `getWorktreeDefaults` to fetch suggested defaults for branch names and paths when creating new worktrees. Updates the WorktreesView component to utilize this method, enhancing the user experience by auto-generating branch names and paths. Additionally, integrates tooltips for improved UI interactions and adds a close button to the worktree creation modal.
* feat: implement .worktreeinclude file management in WorktreeService
Adds new RPC methods to the WorktreeService for managing .worktreeinclude files, including retrieving the status of the file and creating it with specified content. Updates the WorktreesView component to handle the creation and status checking of .worktreeinclude, enhancing user experience by automating file management for worktrees. Additionally, modifies the UI to reflect these changes, including updated tooltips and improved error handling.
* feat: add checkout branch functionality to WorktreeService and UI
Introduces a new RPC method `checkoutBranch` to the WorktreeService for switching branches within the current worktree. Updates the WorktreesView component to support this functionality, enhancing user experience by allowing seamless branch switching. Additionally, refines the UI layout for better responsiveness and improves loading/error state handling.
* feat: reposition New Worktree button for improved UI layout
Moves the New Worktree button to a fixed position at the bottom of the WorktreesView component, enhancing accessibility and user experience. The button is now styled to occupy the full width, ensuring better visibility and interaction within the UI.
* feat: update documentation links in WorktreesView component
Modifies the documentation links in the WorktreesView component to point to the correct feature sections, ensuring users have access to accurate resources. Additionally, adds the "features/worktrees" entry in the documentation JSON for better organization.
* feat: add worktree merging functionality and UI enhancements
Introduces a new feature for merging worktrees, allowing users to merge changes from a worktree's branch into the main branch with options to delete the worktree post-merge. Updates the WorktreesView component to include a merge modal, handling merge conflicts, and integrating with the WorktreeService for seamless operations. Additionally, enhances documentation to reflect these changes.
* refactor: replace exec with simple-git for worktree operations
Refactors the worktree management code to utilize the simple-git library instead of child_process exec for executing Git commands. This change enhances code readability and maintainability by providing a more streamlined interface for Git operations in the checkoutBranch, mergeWorktree, and git-worktree modules. Additionally, it improves error handling and reduces the complexity of command execution.
* feat: enhance mergeWorktree functionality to check target worktree status
Implements a check for uncommitted changes in the target worktree before merging, ensuring that users are informed if the target branch has uncommitted changes. This update improves error handling and user feedback during the merge process by verifying the state of both the source and target worktrees. Additionally, it integrates the listWorktrees utility to identify the correct worktree for the target branch.
* refactor: optimize worktree loading to prevent UI flickering
Enhances the loadWorktrees function in WorktreesView to only update the component's state if the fetched data has changed, reducing unnecessary re-renders and preventing flickering. This change improves the user experience by providing a smoother interface when loading worktrees. Additionally, simplifies the polling mechanism for updates.
* feat: update merge conflict display and task creation flow in WorktreesView
Enhances the merge conflict notification by providing a clearer list of conflicting files, including a summary for additional files. Additionally, modifies the task creation flow to close the worktrees view upon task creation, improving user experience during the merge process.
* fix: improve tooltip functionality and clean up WorktreesView component
Enhances the tooltip for the current worktree indicator to provide additional context for users. Additionally, removes the display of commit hashes in the worktree list to streamline the UI, improving overall clarity and user experience.
* feat: add symlink functionality for .worktreeinclude to sync with .gitignore
Introduces a new section in the documentation explaining how to create a symlink from .gitignore to .worktreeinclude. This allows users to automatically sync patterns between the two files, simplifying worktree setup. Additionally, includes a note for users needing different patterns to create a regular .worktreeinclude file instead.
* fix: simplify merge request button in WorktreesView component
Removes the "Merge" text from the button label in the WorktreesView component, streamlining the user interface. This change focuses on clarity by allowing the button to simply prompt users to "Ask Cline to Resolve," enhancing the overall user experience during merge conflict resolution.

* Fixes docs not rendering
* perf(worktree): optimize file copying for .worktreeinclude
Address performance feedback - worktree creation was taking ~20 seconds
for large directories like node_modules (50k+ files).
Optimizations:
- Use native `cp -r` for entire directories (10-20x faster)
- Parallelize file copying with batches of 100 (5-10x faster)
- Parallelize directory traversal with Promise.all
The old implementation copied files sequentially which caused the
bottleneck. Now directories like node_modules are copied using the
system's native cp command, and individual files are copied in
parallel batches.
Also adds unit tests for the worktree-include module.
* feat(worktree): add multi-root and subfolder workspace warnings
- Detect and warn when multiple workspace folders are open (worktrees not supported in multi-root)
- Detect and warn when a subfolder of a git repo is open instead of the root, showing the actual git root path
- Fix UI overflow on narrow widths by using min-h-32 instead of fixed h-32

* feat(worktree): auto-open Cline sidebar on worktree launch
When switching to a worktree via quick launch button, automatically
open the Cline sidebar in the new/reloaded window. Uses globalState
to pass the target path between windows, reading directly from
context.globalState at startup to bypass StateManager cache timing.
* fix(worktree): improve quick launch UX

- Update delete modal copy to accurately describe behavior
- Add checkbox to optionally delete branch (unchecked by default)
- Show warning about unpushed commits when checkbox is checked
- Update proto, handler, and UI to support delete_branch option
* fix: remove worktrees menu button from sidebar
Remove the worktrees button from the VS Code extension menu bar.
* fix(ui): temporarily disable new worktree button, add tooltip to current worktree
Comment out "New Worktree Window" button until worktree creation is stable.
Add tooltip to current worktree info with "View and manage git worktrees.
Great for running parallel Cline tasks."
* feat: add worktree-exp feature flag for worktrees feature
Put the worktrees feature behind a feature flag (worktree-exp) that
defaults to false. When enabled, users can toggle the feature in
settings. The home page worktree section only shows when both the
feature flag is enabled and the user setting is on.

* feat: add auto-recovery for corrupted task history state
Add automatic reconstruction of task history when JSON parsing fails.
Changes:
- Modified `reconstructTaskHistory()` to return reconstruction result or null
- Enhanced `readTaskHistoryFromState()` with automatic corruption recovery
- Added recursive reconstruction attempt with loop prevention flag
- Wrapped JSON parsing in try-catch to handle corruption gracefully
When task history state file is corrupted, the system now automatically
attempts to reconstruct history from existing task folders, providing
better resilience against file corruption issues.
* feat: Add telemetry tracking for extension storage errors
Replace console.error logging with structured telemetry capture for extension storage operations. This change:
- Adds a new EXTENSION_STORAGE_ERROR telemetry event type to track storage-related failures
- Implements captureExtensionStorageError method with error message truncation to prevent excessive data
- Replaces three console.error calls in readTaskHistoryFromState with telemetry events
This improves error monitoring and provides better insights into extension storage failures while maintaining data efficiency through message truncation.
* fix: improve type safety and error handling in task history
Add explicit return type to reconstructTaskHistory() function and refactor error handling in readTaskHistoryFromState() with nested try-catch blocks to better distinguish between file read errors and JSON parse errors. This improves error recovery and makes error tracking more precise through separate telemetry calls.
* add param to reconstructTaskHistory for manually called action

Replace Roboto with Geist Mono as the default font family in the documentation configuration. This updates the visual styling of the documentation to use a monospace font, which may improve readability for code-heavy content.
* docs: update branding and restructure navigation
- Replace robot panel logos with new Cline brand logos
- Add icons to navbar links (Docs, GitHub, Discord)
- Restructure navigation from groups to tabs format
- Add icons to navigation items for improved UX
- Include new Docs link in navbar with book icon
This update modernizes the documentation appearance and improves navigation hierarchy for better user experience.
* docs: restructure navigation with hierarchical groups and pages
Restructured documentation navigation from flat menu to organized groups:
- Removed redundant "Docs" link from navbar
- Migrated from "menu" to "groups/pages" structure
- Added comprehensive page organization with nested groups:
* Introduction, Getting Started, Features
* Prompting Skills, Cline's Tools, Enterprise Solutions
* MCP Servers, Provider Configuration
- Organized features into logical subgroups (@ Mentions, Commands,
Customization, Slash Commands)
- Improved documentation discoverability and hierarchy
This change provides better content organization and easier navigation
for users exploring different aspects of Cline documentation.
* docs: remove contextual options from documentation config
Remove the contextual configuration section containing the "copy" option from docs.json. This simplifies the documentation configuration by removing unused contextual menu options.
* docs(multiroot): improve workspace documentation with limitations and technical details

- Improve overall content organization and clarity for better user understanding
This update provides users with clearer information about the multiroot feature's current state, its limitations, and how to effectively use workspace hints when working with multiple project folders.

- Transform installation steps into structured Step components for easier following
- Add manual installation instructions for JetBrains IDEs
- Include feature compatibility accordion for JetBrains users
- Enhance visual hierarchy with improved component usage (CardGroup, Steps, Accordion)

This makes the installation process clearer for new users and reduces friction during onboarding.
* style(docs): remove text opacity reduction for better readability
* docs: refactor model selection guide with visual step-by-step instructions
- Replace tab-based layout with linear step-by-step flow
- Add screenshots for each configuration step (config, provider, API, model)
- Reorganize content structure for improved clarity and user experience
- Add quickstart options and streamlined provider recommendations
- Improve navigation with visual aids to help users configure Cline faster
* docs: add installation screenshots and context management guide
* docs: flatten provider config structure in documentation
Remove the "Alternative Providers" grouping and move all provider configuration pages (OpenRouter, Cerebras, DeepSeek, Groq, xAI Grok, Mistral AI, Doubao, Fireworks, and ZAI) to the main provider configuration list. This simplifies the documentation navigation by treating all providers equally rather than categorizing some as alternatives.
* docs: restructure context management docs and improve content clarity
**Changes:**
- Reorganized documentation structure by moving context management from
`/best-practices` to `/prompting` section for better categorization
- Added URL redirect to maintain backward compatibility for old links

narrative, conversational prose

and using emoji-based formatting for better visual clarity

- Updated context bar screenshot to use newer image asset
**Why:**
Better documentation organization and improved user experience through
clearer explanations of how Cline builds and manages context during tasks.
* docs(context-management): convert Quick Reference to Info component
Replace blockquote formatting with Info component for the Quick Reference
section in the context management documentation. This improves visual
presentation and maintains consistency with documentation standards.
Also removes trailing whitespace at the end of the file for cleaner
formatting.
* docs: add Cline Enterprise overview and restructure enterprise section
- Add comprehensive enterprise overview documentation covering security,
governance, observability, and developer experience features
- Rename "Enterprise & Security" navigation group to "Enterprise"
- Consolidate enterprise documentation by replacing 4 pages with 2:
new overview page and security concerns
- Document BYOI (Bring Your Own Inference), SSO authentication, and
role-based access control capabilities
This restructuring provides a clearer entry point for enterprise users
and consolidates previously scattered enterprise information into a
cohesive overview document.
* docs(enterprise): streamline enterprise overview and update font
- Change documentation font from Geist Mono to Geist Sans
- Add enterprise website link card for detailed information
- Remove Developer Experience, Proven at Scale, and Pricing sections
- Consolidate Flexible Inference section content
- Simplify enterprise overview to focus on core capabilities
These changes reduce redundancy by directing users to the enterprise
website for pricing and detailed features while keeping the docs
focused on technical implementation and core capabilities.
