2 If no branch is specified and neither `-b` nor `-B` nor
3 `--detach` is used, then `git worktree add` defaults to
4 creating a new branch from HEAD. If `worktree.guessRemote` is
5 set to true, `worktree add` tries to find a remote-tracking
6 branch whose name uniquely matches the new branch name. If
7 such a branch exists, it is checked out and set as "upstream"
8 for the new branch. If no such match can be found, it falls
9 back to creating a new branch from the current HEAD.
11 worktree.useRelativePaths::
12 Link worktrees using relative paths (when "true") or absolute
13 paths (when "false"). This is particularly useful for setups
14 where the repository and worktrees may be moved between
15 different locations or environments. Defaults to "false".
17 Note that setting `worktree.useRelativePaths` to "true" implies enabling the
18 `extension.relativeWorktrees` config (see linkgit:git-config[1]),
19 thus making it incompatible with older versions of Git.
