git-wt

PyPI version

A lightweight CLI tool for managing git worktrees with automatic file syncing and post-create hooks.

Install

uv tool install git-wt
# or
pipx install git-wt
# or
pip install git-wt

Usage

cd your-repo
git wt        # as a git subcommand
# or
git-wt        # standalone

On first run, you'll be prompted to create a config file.

Features

  • Create worktrees with branch autocomplete
  • Auto-copy or symlink configured files (.env, .envrc, etc.)
  • Run post-create hooks (setup scripts)
  • List worktrees with dirty status
  • Remove worktrees with safety prompts
  • Path copied to clipboard on creation

Config

On first run, git-wt will prompt you to create .git-wt.toml in your repo root:

[files]
mode = "copy"  # or "symlink"
paths = [".env", ".envrc"]

[hooks]
post_create = ["./setup.sh"]

Options

  • files.mode: "copy" (default) or "symlink"
  • files.paths: List of files/directories to sync to new worktrees
  • hooks.post_create: List of scripts to run after creating a worktree

Why?

When working with git worktrees, you often need to:

  1. Copy environment files (.env, .envrc) to each new worktree
  2. Run setup scripts (install dependencies, etc.)

git-wt automates this workflow.
