I was briefly wondering if a similar change is needed in the documentation for the 'git worktree' command itself. It currently reads: With `worktree add <path>`, without `<commit-ish>`, instead of creating a new branch from HEAD, if there exists a tracking branch in exactly one remote matching the basename of `<path>`, base the new branch on the remote-tracking branch, and mark the remote-tracking branch as "upstream" from the new branch. I do think the documentation for the config option is slightly easier to read, especially with your improvements below. Dunno if it's worth adjusting the test in the 'git worktree' documentation as well? > Reference: https://public-inbox.org/git/0E640233-B2CB-465D-9713-BBECE331CA80@xxxxx/ > > Documentation/config/worktree.txt | 4 ++-- > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/Documentation/config/worktree.txt b/Documentation/config/worktree.txt > index b853798fc2..048e349482 100644 > --- a/Documentation/config/worktree.txt > +++ b/Documentation/config/worktree.txt > @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ > worktree.guessRemote:: > - With `add`, if no branch argument, and neither of `-b` nor > - `-B` nor `--detach` are given, the command defaults to > + If no branch is specified and neither `-b` nor `-B` nor > + `--detach` is used, then `git worktree add` defaults to > creating a new branch from HEAD.
