Create new git worktrees from origin

[tdi]

idea / problem

Worktrees in TUI are based on whatever is in local HEAD, it not necessarily is the freshest. Instead it would be goo to have conductor behaviour where base is taken from origin/HEAD (we can check origin/HEAD and if it does not exist run git remote set-head origin --auto and then check again. If all fails we fallback to local.

proposed change

[worktrees]
directory = "~/.herdr/worktrees"
base = "origin_head"   # default is "head"

Behavior when base = "origin_head":

1. Run git remote set-head origin --auto silently (creates origin/HEAD if missing, requires network)
2. Pass origin/HEAD as the base ref to git worktree add -b <branch> <path> origin/HEAD
3. If origin/HEAD still doesn't resolve (offline, no remote), fall back to HEAD with a diagnostic warning

Backward compatible — default remains head (current behavior). No existing config breaks.

why you want this

I want my worktrees fresh - I often work in many repos. Less conflicts later when merging.

I am willing to implemnent this

@ogulcancelik this is a simple change - if you are ok with this i am up for creating a PR from my forked repo

hey, 0.7.0 is out and it brings the new plugin system: https://herdr.dev/docs/plugins/

this looks like a good candidate for a plugin instead of a built-in herdr feature, so i'm going to close this discussion for now. if you build or find a plugin for this workflow, please share it here so others can use it too.

Built this as a plugin https://github.com/persiyanov/herdr-fresh-worktree

@ogulcancelik thank you for herdr!

@persiyanov so it supports fresh from remote head and local too ?
