The real worktree terminal picker: search across demo repositories, select a branch with the arrow keys, then press Enter to open it. — Real CLI. Fictional workspaces.Type to search. `↑` `↓` to select. `↵` to go.

01 / MAKE ROOM

One task. One worktree.

Keep your current changes where they are. Create a separate directory and branch for the next thing.

02 / FIND YOUR PLACE

Less directory hunting.

Fuzzy-search projects and branches in one terminal picker. Arrow keys, Enter, or a click. You’re there.

03 / STAY IN FLOW

Your terminal. Your tools.

Works with zsh and bash. Finds registered projects and Codex worktrees. Fits into the way you already work.

A SMALL TOOL FOR THE EVERYDAY

A few commands.
A lot less friction.

Git worktrees let you work on multiple branches in separate directories. worktree makes creating and moving between them feel natural.

Create & jump in

$ worktree create
                  fix-parser

Create a worktree and switch to it. Existing branch? It uses that.

Find & open

$ worktree

Pick your workspace, or go straight there with worktree open fix-parser.

Explore another approach

$ worktree fork fix-parser
                  experiment

Fork into a new branch with your staged, unstaged, and untracked work carried along.

LESS IS MORE.

Keep it simple, stupid.

Do one thing. Make it easy. Get out of the way.
