Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

Currently, it generates a new workspace automatically branched off main. We work off staging, would be nice to be able to tell it to create new branches off that (or any arbitrary branch).

That said, it would also be great to be able to pull down existing remote branches, or local branches, and create a worktree for them directly (not a new one, actually using that branch).

    I believe #13593 solves this
