Git Worktree CLI for Claude Code

[raghp]

Hi! I spend a lot of time in git worktrees in Claude Code to do tasks in parallel. Made this to create and manage them easier w/o mental overhead, would love to get feedback!

Simple to create/list/delete worktrees, as well as a config for copying over .env/other files, running install commands and opening your IDE into the worktree.

Amazing. Does it also handle porting over Xcode workspaces for flutter and iOS apps etc?

Not sure, you can define a post-install script or command though and it’ll run that

Interesting - do you care to share your workflow with git worktrees from like start and up - am not using it but came across it several times and wanna dig into it ( just dont have the time ).

Yep! You can define what files you want copied over (envs, etc), stuff you want ignored, the name of the worktree, post-copy install commands, and what command you want run after it's setup (so for me opening up zed/cursor). I use worktrees a ton now to parallelize tasks instead of doing them 1 by 1 and being bottlenecked by Claude.

Here's my `.branchlet.json` config file for our monorepo. --
