Overview

Worktrunk is a Rust CLI that wraps git worktree so worktrees are addressed by branch name, with paths computed from a configurable template. Commands like `wt switch -c -x claude feat` create a worktree and launch an agent in it, and `wt merge` squashes, rebases, merges and cleans up. It also offers hooks, an interactive picker, CI status in `wt list --full`, and copy-on-write sharing of build caches on APFS, btrfs and XFS.

Who it is for: Developers running several Claude Code or Codex agents on one repo

Strengths

Create a worktree and start an agent in one command (`wt switch -c -x claude`)
Hooks on create, pre-merge and post-merge automate per-worktree setup
Shares target/ and node_modules/ across worktrees via copy-on-write on APFS, btrfs, XFS
Installs through Homebrew, Cargo, Winget, pacman and conda; shell integration for several shells

Weaknesses

Needs a shell integration step (`wt config shell install`) before it can change directories
On Windows, `wt` clashes with Windows Terminal; Winget installs it as `git-wt`
Cache sharing only works on APFS, btrfs and XFS filesystems
LLM commit messages and summaries need a separately configured model; supported providers unknown from README

What it needs

no GPU
Needs git

How to choose

Check which agent it targets and whether it works with the version you run.
Read what it adds to every prompt; big rule sets cost tokens on each call.
Prefer add-ons you can turn off per project.
