Umbraco.Community.WorktreeDevPort

Gives every git worktree of an Umbraco site its own stable local dev port, discoverable by any tool with a plain git wdp-port call — no named pipe, no Unix socket, no /site-address endpoint to query.

Install

dotnet add package Umbraco.Community.WorktreeDevPort

That's it — the composer is picked up automatically by Umbraco and only activates when ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development.

How it works

  • The first time the site starts in a given worktree, it picks a free port and saves it in a wdp-port file in that worktree's own git folder. The main checkout gets 44355 when it's free; every linked worktree gets the first free port from 44300 up instead, so 44355 stays reserved.
  • That file lives at .git/wdp-port (main checkout) or .git/worktrees/<name>/wdp-port (linked worktree) — never in a tracked file, never in /tmp.
  • Every later run in that same worktree reuses the same port.
  • git worktree add never copies that file, so a new worktree always starts with no port and picks its own. New ports also skip any port another worktree already has saved.
  • Removing the worktree (git worktree remove) deletes the saved port with it. Nothing to clean up by hand.
  • Any other tool — a client generator script, an AI agent, a teammate — gets the same port by running git wdp-port, a git alias the package adds to the repo's shared config. No need to ask the running site what port it's on. No output means this worktree hasn't started the site yet.

See worktree-dev-port for the matching Node.js helper.

Configuration

Optional, in appsettings.Development.json:

{
  "WorktreeDevPort": {
    "BasePort": 44300,
    "RangeSize": 100,
    "MainWorktreePort": 44355
  }
}

Set MainWorktreePort to null (or 0) to disable the fixed-port reservation and always use the pool.

If ASPNETCORE_URLS (or urls) is already set to a real fixed port, this package leaves it alone. A :0 port (the old "ask the OS for a random port" trick) is treated the same as no URL being set at all — this package's whole job is to replace that. Wildcard hosts such as http://*:5000 and https://+:443 count as fixed ports too.
