Support using existing git worktrees instead of auto-generating random branches

[gurpreetkaits]

Problem

Vibe Kanban auto-generates a new branch and worktree for each task. I already have worktrees set up
for my Jira tickets and want to use them directly.

Current Behavior

• Creates random branch: uuid-task-title
• Creates new worktree in ~/.vibe-kanban/workspaces/

What this optional feature can do

• Added "Working Dir" button in task creation
• Browse and select existing worktree directory
• Branch is auto-detected from the selected directory
• No new worktree created — uses existing one
  Backward compatible. Default behavior unchanged.

Demo

• Screen Recording: Duration 1:21

👍 It also provide us like /clear function of claude code.
I want to start new session without creating new worktree.

You are right

Hi @gurpreetkaits, you can create a new agent session within the same worktree by clicking here:

With this, for example, you can run Gemini and Codex in the same worktree.

Sounds great

But creating a random worktree and branch each time is weird

Agree - This is a much needed feature
