'worktree' is not a git command

Question

In the source of the OSS project I am working on, there is a script written to create release version from the repository. The script throws an error on this line

 git worktree prune

The error is :

git: 'worktree' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

what does `git --version` give? Maybe you are using an old git install? — David van rijn, May 26 '16 at 12:55
A quick google search told me that `git worktree` is a new feature in either git `2.x` or `2.5`. It does work on my `2.6.2.windows.1`. Update your git to the latest version and it should work. — CptBartender, May 26 '16 at 12:59

git worktree is a new-ish feature, experimental in Git version 2.5, more solid in Git 2.6, and with a minor but fairly important fix in 2.7.2 if you move a worktree.

See also this SO question for reasons you might want to use git worktree.

(already answered in comments, but making a real answer in case others come across this in search)
