Subject: misleading "man git-worktree", is last "add" argument necessarily a "branch"?
Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2018 04:58:33 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.21.1801170455380.16166@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
perusing "git worktree", and man page reads:
SYNOPSIS
git worktree add [-f] [--detach] [--checkout] [--lock] \
[-b <new-branch>] <path> [<branch>]
^^^^^^^^^^
however, can't that last optional argument be any arbitrary commit,
not just a "branch"?
