…ectory names When wt.branchprefix is set (e.g., "username/"), new branches are created with the prefix prepended (e.g., "username/my-feature") while the worktree directory uses the short name (e.g., ".wt/my-feature"). Key behaviors: - Existing branches matching the exact input are used as-is (no prefix added) - Input already starting with the prefix is not doubled - Worktrees can be found by either the short dir name or the full branch name - Supports both git config and --branchprefix flag override Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Thank you for the well-crafted PR with thorough tests and documentation! After consideration, I've decided not to merge this feature for the following reasons.
I appreciate the contribution and the time you put into this. Feel free to open an issue if you'd like to discuss alternative approaches. |

That's fair. I think a simpler approach would just be to allow git wt in branch-creation mode take the branch and directory name as separate arguments? Then I can wrap it if I'd like with something that matches my personal standard. |
