About

What is worktrunk?

Worktrunk is a command-line interface (CLI) tool built for efficient Git worktree management, specifically tailored for parallel AI agent workflows. It addresses the clunky native Git worktree UX by providing three core commands that make worktrees as straightforward as branches. Beyond the core functionality, Worktrunk offers numerous quality-of-life features, including hooks for automating local workflows, LLM commit message generation, an interactive picker for browsing worktrees, and the ability to copy build caches to skip cold starts. It also supports CI status and AI-generated summaries per branch, and allows for dev servers per worktree, making it an indispensable tool for developers managing complex, parallel development environments, especially when working with AI agents like Claude Code.
