Spin up isolated git worktrees for parallel Claude Code and Codex branches with Worktrunk

Create, switch, and clean per-branch worktrees so multiple coding agents can work the same repo in parallel without stomping each other.

Prerequisites

Git repository, Worktrunk CLI, local shell access, one or more coding agents such as Claude Code or Codex

Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:

• brew install worktrunk && wt config shell install
• cargo install worktrunk && wt config shell install
• conda install -c conda-forge worktrunk && wt config shell install

Requirements and caveats from upstream:

• worktree requires typing the branch name three times: git worktree add -b feat

Basic usage or getting-started notes:

• Hooks — run commands on create, pre-merge, post-merge, etc

• Homebrew (macOS & Linux):

• bash
