#!/bin/bash
# Creates new worktrees for all IntelliJ IDEA repositories pointing to a new release branch.
# Usage: ./cloneToWt.sh <target directory> <branch>
# Restrictions:
#   None of the given Git repositories should have the branch with name <branch>.
#   There should be a remote branch origin/<branch> from which a new local branch will be created by this script.
#   You must use Git 2.5.0 or later.

set -e # Any command which returns non-zero exit code will cause this shell script to exit immediately
