max-sixty/worktrunk

A command-line tool for managing git worktrees, designed specifically for running multiple AI coding agents simultaneously: each agent gets its own isolated working directory to prevent interference, and creating, switching, or cleaning up worktrees is as simple as switching branches.

Reasons

With native git, opening a worktree requires typing the branch name three times and then cd-ing into it; with this tool, wt switch -c -x claude feat creates a branch, sets up a worktree, and launches Claude inside it with a single command. Use wt remove to clean up, and wt list to display changes, ahead/behind status, and commit states for each worktree.
Includes hooks (automatically run commands before and after creation or merging), generates commit messages based on diffs, displays CI status and AI summaries per branch, and completes squash/rebase/merge/cleanup in one command. On APFS, btrfs, and XFS, it allows multiple worktrees to share build caches such as target/ and node_modules/.

Usage

Run brew install worktrunk && wt config shell install, or cargo install worktrunk; on Windows, use winget install max-sixty.worktrunk, with the command name git-wt.
Use wt switch --create feature-auth to create a new one; use wt switch pr:123 to switch directly to a PR's branch; full documentation is available at worktrunk.dev.

Risks

Generating commit messages and branch summaries requires separately configuring model commands, as the README only provides documentation links; on Windows, there is a command conflict between wt and Windows Terminal.
The README lists the license as dual MIT or Apache-2.0 (not recognized by GitHub); the repository was created in 2025 year 10 month, and this is its first appearance on the list.
