If in a WORKTREE:

When working with worktrees, you typically want each branch in its own worktree:

AskUserQuestion({
  questions: [
    {
      question: "You're in a worktree. How do you want to create the branch?",
      header: "Method",
      options: [
        {
          label: "Create worktree (Recommended)",
          description: "New branch in a new worktree directory",
        },
        {
          label: "Stacked branch here",
          description: "Child of current branch, stay in this worktree",
        },
        {
          label: "Switch branch (not recommended)",
          description: "Checkout new branch in this worktree",
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
});

Create worktree:

# For stacked branch (child of current)
git worktree add ../<new-branch-name> -b <type>/<name>
git machete add <type>/<name> --onto $(git branch --show-current)

# For regular branch (from main)
git worktree add ../<new-branch-name> -b <type>/<name> origin/main

Tell user: cd ../<new-branch-name> to work in the new worktree.

If NOT in a worktree (main checkout):

AskUserQuestion({
  questions: [
    {
      question: "What type of branch?",
      header: "Type",
      options: [
        { label: "Regular branch", description: "From main" },
        {
          label: "Stacked branch",
          description: "Child of current (stacked PRs)",
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
});

Regular:

git fetch origin main && git checkout -b <type>/<name> origin/main

Stacked:

git checkout -b <type>/<name>
git machete add --onto $(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref @{-1})

</process>
