Bug Description
Feature request: Base worktrees on the selected branch
When using the worktree checkbox in the Desktop UI after selecting a specific branch (e.g. a feature branch), the worktree is always based on the default branch (e.g. development) instead of the branch I selected. I'd like a setting or option to base the worktree on my currently selected branch, so I don't have to create worktrees manually via git.
