#388 Docs: document --extensions-dir / SWAMP_EXTENSIONS_DIR for worktree workflows

Opened by stack72 · 5/20/2026· Shipped 5/20/2026

Context

swamp-club#381 adds --extensions-dir / SWAMP_EXTENSIONS_DIR to separate the extension source directory (code plane) from the repository data directory (data plane). This enables git worktree workflows where .swamp/ lives in the main checkout and extensions are developed in worktrees.

What needs documenting

The manual's repository configuration reference (content/manual/reference/repository-configuration.md) should cover:

  • The SWAMP_EXTENSIONS_DIR env var and --extensions-dir flag
  • When to use it (git worktree workflows, CI pipelines with separate code/data directories)
  • What it controls (local extension source scanning) vs. what stays at SWAMP_REPO_DIR (data, catalog, bundles, pulled extensions)
  • Example setup for a typical git worktree workflow

The extensions reference (content/manual/reference/extensions.md) may also need a note about split-directory behavior for extension discovery.
