Modern TUI-driven Odoo Worktree Manager

Odoo Worktree Assistant (odoo-wt)

A professional, modern TUI-driven Git worktree manager explicitly designed for Odoo developers. Built with Python, Textual, and uv.

The Pitch

I work with Odoo using Git Worktrees every single day. Every time I start a new feature or need to check out a colleague's code, I find myself doing the same tedious dance: creating a new folder, fetching branches from the remote, adding the community worktree, adding the enterprise worktree, and then setting up the Python environment.

If you also work like this, I built this tool for you. It handles that entire handshake between Git and your virtual environments in seconds through a fast Terminal UI, so you can just focus on the code.

The Structure

The tool creates and manages a standardized folder structure that looks like this:

~/repos/Odoo/wt/                    <-- Your Worktree Root
│
├── master/                         <-- Your base repositories
│   ├── odoo/                       (Main clone of community)
│   └── enterprise/                 (Main clone of enterprise)
│
├── 17.0-fix-account-bug-pian/      <-- A new task
│   ├── .venv/                      <-- Auto-linked shared UV environment
│   ├── odoo/                       <-- Checked out to the task branch
│   └── enterprise/                 <-- Checked out to the task branch
│
└── saas-17.4-feature-xyz-mate/    <-- Checking a colleague's code
    ├── .venv/
    ├── odoo/
    └── enterprise/

Key Features

• Modern TUI: A sleek, reactive All-in-One form built with Textual.
• Smart Branching: Follows the Odoo standard: [VERSION]-[description]-[SUFFIX].
• Dual Repo Support: Simultaneously creates worktrees for both odoo (Community) and enterprise.
• Automated UV Environments:
  • Centralizes environments in ~/.envs/[VERSION].
  • Automatically runs uv venv and uv pip install if the environment is missing.
  • Instantly symlinks .venv into your new worktree folder for automatic VS Code detection.
• Proactive Status Checks: Checks odoo-dev and local remotes to detect if branches already exist before creation.

Installation

1. From PyPI (Recommended)

odoo-wt is officially published on PyPI. The easiest way to install it globally is using uv tool:

uv tool install odoo-wt

To update to the latest release:

uv tool upgrade odoo-wt

2. From Source (For Contributors)

If you want to run the latest unreleased version or contribute to the project:

git clone https://github.com/nd-dew/odoo-wt.git
cd odoo-wt
uv tool install . --force

(Tip: For active development, use uv tool install --editable . --force to see code changes instantly without re-installing.)

Configuration

The tool saves its configuration to ~/.config/odoo-wt.json. You can edit paths directly in the Settings tab within the application.

• wt_root: Where your worktree folders live (e.g., ~/repos/Odoo/wt).
• env_root: Where your centralized global Python environments are stored (e.g., ~/.envs).
• suffix: Your default developer quadrigram (e.g., pian).

Usage

Interactive Mode

Simply run the command with no arguments:

odoo-wt

• Use Tab to switch between Version, Description, and Suffix.
• Type custom... in any dropdown to reveal a custom input field.
• Press Ctrl+S to instantly submit and deploy.
• Press Esc to cancel and exit.

Fast Mode

If you already have a full branch name ready:

odoo-wt 17.0-fix-account-bug-pian

Development Guide

Running Tests

We use pytest for our modern test suite. It covers core logic, file management, and UI rendering via Textual's headless pilot.

# Run all tests
uv run pytest

# Run tests with detailed output
uv run pytest -v

Applying Changes

If you modify the source code, you can apply your changes to your local installation using:

uv tool install . --force

Known Limitations

• Clipboard Interactions (Copy/Paste): Because odoo-wt uses mouse-capture to enable clickable buttons and scrollbars in the terminal, your terminal emulator's native click-to-highlight features are disabled by default.
  • To copy text manually: Hold the Shift key while clicking and dragging over the text to bypass the app and use your terminal's native selection, then use Ctrl+Shift+C.
  • To paste text: Sometimes native terminal paste (Ctrl+Shift+V or middle-click) events are intercepted unreliably by the underlying framework. If pasting into an input field fails, you may need to type the branch name manually.

Development

To apply changes made to the source:

uv tool install . --force
