Worktrunk: Git Worktrees Made Simple for Parallel AI Agents

Worktrunk is a new open-source command-line tool designed to simplify Git worktrees, particularly for developers running multiple AI coding agents simultaneously. While Git worktrees allow developers to manage multiple branches in separate directories, the native command-line interface is often cumbersome. Written in Rust, Worktrunk streamlines this process by allowing users to manage worktrees using simple branch names, automatically handling directory paths and cleanup. The tool includes features like LLM-generated commit messages, build cache copying, and unique port management for dev servers. It is especially useful for developers who juggle multiple features or need to run several AI agents in isolated environments without file conflicts. Available via Homebrew or Cargo, Worktrunk aims to reduce the friction of managing complex Git workflows, making it a practical utility for modern, agent-assisted development environments.
