Description
Is there a way to set this to create git branches instead of git worktrees? Unfortunately some of our repositories aren't configured to work with git worktree; our build scripts reference files that aren't copied over to the worktree folder.

Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating where the app creates Git worktrees and how repository options are configured; a complete change should let users choose branch creation instead and work with repositories whose build scripts depend on files outside the worktree.
