SYNOPSIS

[verse]
-'git worktree add' [-f] [--detach] <path> <branch>
+'git worktree add' [-f] [--detach] [-b <new-branch>] <path> <branch>
'git worktree prune' [-n] [-v] [--expire <expire>]
DESCRIPTION
is already checked out by another worktree. This option overrides
that safeguard.
+-b <new-branch>::
+-B <new-branch>::
+ With `add`, create a new branch named `<new-branch>` starting at
+ `<branch>`, and check out `<new-branch>` into the new worktree.
+ By default, `-b` refuses to create a new branch if it already
+ exists. `-B` overrides this safeguard, resetting `<new-branch>` to
+ `<branch>`.
+
--detach::
With `add`, detach HEAD in the new worktree. See "DETACHED HEAD" in
linkgit:git-checkout[1].
