evo-tool 0.1.1

A CLI tool for managing Git worktrees with Claude Code integration

Evo

A powerful CLI tool for managing Git worktrees with integrated AI coding assistant support. Evo streamlines development workflows by creating isolated Git worktrees and launching them with Claude or other AI assistants.

Features

• Smart Git Worktree Management: Create and manage worktrees with a single command
• AI Assistant Integration: Built-in support for Claude and other coding assistants
• Isolated Development: Optional devcontainer support for secure, isolated environments
• Project Configuration: Define build, test, and lint commands per project
• Usage Analytics: Track token usage and costs for AI assistants
• Session Management: View and filter coding sessions by project
• Automatic File Sync: Copy untracked files (like .env) to new worktrees

Installation

From PyPI

pip install evo

From Source

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/evo.git
cd evo
pip install -e .

Requirements

• Python 3.12+
• Git
• Claude CLI (or other supported AI assistant)
• For isolated runtime:
  • Docker
  • devcontainer CLI (npm install -g @devcontainers/cli)

Quick Start

1. Initialize your project:

evo init

This creates:

• .evo/config.json - Project-specific configuration
• .devcontainer/ - Devcontainer support files

2. Create a development environment:

evo dev feature/new-feature

3. Launch with a specific task:

evo dev fix/bug-123 -p "Fix the authentication timeout issue"

Commands

evo init

Initialize project configuration and devcontainer support.

evo init

Creates the .evo/config.json file with default settings and sets up devcontainer configuration for isolated development.

evo dev

Create a Git worktree and launch it with an AI assistant.

evo dev <branch-name> [OPTIONS]

Arguments:

• branch_name - Name of the branch to create worktree for

Options:

• -p, --prompt - Initial prompt to pass to the AI assistant
• -r, --runtime - Development runtime: local (default), isolated, or remote

Examples:

# Basic usage
evo dev feature/new-api

# With specific task
evo dev fix/memory-leak -p "Investigate and fix the memory leak in the worker process"

# Using isolated devcontainer
evo dev feature/secure-feature --runtime isolated

Behavior:

1. Creates a worktree at ../{repo-name}-{branch-name}
2. Creates new branch if it doesn't exist
3. Copies configured worktree files (e.g., .env)
4. Runs configured build commands
5. Launches AI assistant with test/lint commands in prompt

evo usage

Display AI assistant usage statistics for the last N days.

evo usage [OPTIONS]

Options:

• -d, --days - Number of days to show (default: 30)

Examples:

# Last 30 days
evo usage

# Last week
evo usage -d 7

# Last quarter
evo usage --days 90

Shows:

• Daily token usage by model
• Estimated costs
• Total tokens and costs for the period

evo sessions

Display recent coding sessions, filtered by project.

evo sessions [OPTIONS]

Options:

• -p, --project - Filter sessions by project name

Examples:

# Sessions for current project
evo sessions

# Sessions for specific project
evo sessions -p myapp

# Sessions matching pattern
evo sessions --project api

Configuration

Project Configuration

Located at .evo/config.json in your project root:

{
  "build_commands": ["npm install", "npm run build"],
  "test_command": "npm test",
  "lint_command": "npm run lint",
  "worktree_files": [".env", ".env.local", ".mcp"],
  "disable_firewall": false,
  "default_cli": "claude"
}

Options:

• build_commands - Commands to run after creating worktree
• test_command - Test command to include in AI prompt
• lint_command - Lint command to include in AI prompt
• worktree_files - Untracked files to copy to new worktrees
• disable_firewall - Allow network access in devcontainers
• default_cli - AI assistant to use (currently only "claude")

Global Configuration

Located at ~/.config/evo/config.json:

{
  "default_cli": "claude"
}

Currently stores the default CLI tool preference.

Isolated Development (Devcontainers)

For enhanced security and isolation, use the --runtime isolated option:

evo dev feature/secure --runtime isolated

Benefits:

• Network isolation (configurable)
• Consistent development environment
• No local environment pollution
• Automatic cleanup

Requirements:

• Docker Desktop or Docker Engine
• devcontainer CLI

Tips and Best Practices

1. Branch Naming: Use descriptive hierarchical names

   evo dev feature/auth/oauth2
   evo dev bugfix/api/rate-limiting
   

2. Complex Prompts: Use files for detailed instructions

   evo dev refactor/database -p "$(cat refactor-plan.md)"
   

3. Environment Files: Configure important untracked files

   {
     "worktree_files": [".env", ".env.local", "config/secrets.json"]
   }
   

4. Build Automation: Set up build commands to prepare the environment

   {
     "build_commands": ["npm install", "npm run generate", "npm run db:migrate"]
   }
   

How It Works

1. Worktree Creation: Creates a Git worktree in a sibling directory
2. Branch Management: Creates new branches or checks out existing ones
3. File Synchronization: Copies specified untracked files
4. Environment Setup: Runs build commands to prepare the workspace
5. AI Integration: Launches AI assistant with context about test/lint commands
6. Session Tracking: Records sessions for usage analytics

Development

Setting Up Development Environment

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/evo.git
cd evo

# Install with development dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Install pre-commit hooks (if available)
pre-commit install

Running Tests

# Run all tests
pytest

# Run with coverage
pytest --cov=evo

# Run specific test file
pytest tests/test_settings.py

Code Quality

# Format code
ruff format .

# Run linter
ruff check .

# Type checking (if mypy is configured)
mypy evo

Troubleshooting

Worktree Creation Fails

• Ensure you're in a Git repository
• Check for existing worktree with same name
• Verify branch name is valid

Claude Not Found

• Install Claude CLI: Follow instructions at claude.ai
• Verify installation: which claude
• Restart terminal after installation

Devcontainer Issues

• Ensure Docker is running
• Install devcontainer CLI: npm install -g @devcontainers/cli
• Check Docker permissions

Permission Errors

• Check directory permissions
• For devcontainers, ensure Docker socket access
• On macOS/Linux, may need to run Docker commands with proper group
