September 2026: Worktrunk was released at the start of the year, and has quickly become the most popular git worktree manager. It's built with love (there's no slop!). Please let me know any frictions at all; I'm intensely focused on continuing to make Worktrunk excellent, and the biggest help is folks posting problems they perceive.

Worktrunk is a CLI for git worktree management, designed for running AI agents in parallel.

Worktrunk's three core commands make worktrees as easy as branches. Plus, Worktrunk has a bunch of quality-of-life features to simplify working with many parallel changes, including hooks to automate local workflows & copy-on-write build caches.

A quick demo:

AI agents like Claude Code and Codex can handle longer tasks without supervision, such that it's possible to manage 5-10+ in parallel. Git's native worktree feature gives each agent its own working directory, so they don't step on each other's changes.

But the git worktree UX is clunky. Even a task as small as starting a new worktree requires typing the branch name three times: git worktree add -b feat ../repo.feat, then cd ../repo.feat.

Worktrees are addressed by branch name; paths are computed from a configurable template. Commands that take a branch also accept the path of the worktree it is checked out in.

Start with the core commands

Core commands:

git worktree add -b feat ../repo.feat && \
cd ../repo.feat && \
claude

cd ../repo && \
git worktree remove ../repo.feat && \
git branch -d feat
