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.

Scaling agents becomes trivial. A quick demo:

Context: git worktrees

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 give 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.

Worktrunk makes git worktrees as easy as branches

Each worktree has exactly one branch, so Worktrunk uses branch names to address worktrees. The path is derived automatically.

Start with the core commands

Core commands:

Task	Worktrunk	Plain git
Switch worktrees	`wt switch feat`	`cd ../repo.feat`
Create + start Claude	`wt switch -c -x claude feat`	`git worktree add -b feat ../repo.feat && \ cd ../repo.feat && \ claude`
Clean up	`wt remove`	`cd ../repo && \ git worktree remove ../repo.feat && \ git branch -d feat`
List with status	`wt list`	`git worktree list` (paths only)

Workflow automation:

Expand into the more advanced commands as needed

Hooks — run commands on create, pre-merge, post-merge, etc
LLM commit messages — generate commit messages from diffs via llm
Merge workflow — squash, rebase, merge, clean up in one command
...and lots more
