It lets you run multiple AI agents in parallel within their own isolated directories. ### Who it suits It is a match for developers who run several tasks or AI agents at once. It also helps those who need to maintain different versions of a codebase concurrently. ### Where to use it You can use Worktrunk in your terminal. It provides dedicated workspaces for tools like Claude Code and Codex. ### How to set it up You need Git and a terminal. 1. Install the package using your preferred manager. 2. Run the shell integration command to enable path management. ```bash brew install worktrunk && wt config shell install ``` ```bash cargo install worktrunk && wt config shell install ``` ```bash winget install max-sixty.worktrunk git-wt config shell install ``` ```bash sudo pacman -S worktrunk && wt config shell install ``` ### How to use it You manage worktrees through commands that handle creation, listing, merging, and removal. ### Example Launch a new agent in a feature branch by running wt switch -x claude -c feature-name. Worktrunk creates the branch, sets up the worktree, and starts the agent. ### For newcomers and experts Newcomers can think of a worktree as a separate folder that shares the same history but keeps tasks distinct. You can use the list command to see how your current work is organized. Experts will find that this tool automates native Git worktree capabilities through a unified interface. ### Good to know - Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows. - Integrates with local Git repositories. - Licensed under MIT or Apache 2.0. ## README ````markdown # Worktrunk A command-line interface for managing Git worktrees.
