Worktrunk: git worktrees made simple for parallel AI agents
Rust CLI that makes git worktrees as easy as branches: wt switch feat creates or jumps to a worktree by branch name, with live status lists, one-step merge-and-cleanup, and shared build caches so parallel agents do not rebuild the same dependencies; about 10,000 stars and #2-3 on GitHub daily trending on November 4.
Why it matters
Built for the parallel-agent workflow: each coding agent gets its own worktree and branch without stepping on others' changes, with integrations for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and OpenCode.
What you could build with it
A development team running several coding agents at once could give each agent its own worktree through Worktrunk, so parallel feature branches merge cleanly instead of agents overwriting each other's files in one checkout.
Does it hold up?
Usable today: installs via Homebrew, Cargo, Winget or Conda under dual MIT/Apache-2.0, and hands-on writeups confirm the core switch/list/merge flow; Windows users must use git-wt to avoid clashing with Windows Terminal.
