So if there is a worktree then we run the setup code explicitly. I
assume that is to ensure that all envvars are setup properly before
running the alias. Just interesting to note that the actual value of
worktree_dir is never used, its just used essentially as a boolean
indicator of there being a worktree/gitdir/repository. I'm not
suggesting to change from what you have here, its just food for thought.
