What is the question mark next to a branch name?

[sayandcode]

I'm currently using worktrees to have two branches running in two separate files. In one of the branches however, I see that there is a wierd question mark next to the branch name. Here's some more context.



However, when I check the main branch that is frontend this question mark is not present in that branch
.
I have tried syncing remote and local, amongst other things, but the question mark doesn't go away.

What does that question mark signify?

same issue here (also related to worktrees)

the remote branch is not stored locally.

ah, is there a way to fix this with work trees @Ryooooooga ? Things seem to work mostly fine, however I noticed that I can't force push from inside lazygit from work trees (the regulal git cli does work without issues).

i've found a good solution, someone wrote a nice script to make cloning bare repos compatible with worktrees easier:
