wt

wt

A CLI tool for managing git worktrees. Create, list, navigate, and delete worktrees from the command line or an interactive TUI.

Worktrees are created under <repo>-worktrees/ alongside your main checkout.

AI Statement

This repository was created entirely with Claude Code, for two reasons:

1. Because I wanted a tool that works exactly like this one does
2. Because I wanted to try out some techniques with Claude Code

The big thing I wanted to try was requiring 100% test coverage. I can't really speak yet to how well it worked in terms of increasing robustness, but Claude did work pretty hard to meet the goal.

Given that this is a local development tool that I might be the only user of forever, I'm not too worried about it.
