## clawker worktree add

Create a worktree for a branch

### Synopsis

Creates a git worktree for the specified branch.

If the worktree already exists, the command will fail.
If the branch exists but isn't checked out elsewhere, it's checked out in the new worktree.
If the branch doesn't exist, it's created from the base ref (default: HEAD).

```
