Stop Using Git Worktrees. Do THIS Instead.

Git worktrees allow parallel development across multiple branches without stashing, but their CLI UX is notoriously painful. Work Trunk is a new CLI tool that wraps Git worktrees with a much smoother interface: it handles branch creation, switching, merging (including auto-staging, AI-generated commit messages via Claude, stash management, and cleanup) in single commands. Key features include hooks for automating tasks on worktree events (e.g., running npm install, renaming tmux windows), fuzzy-finding via jq/fzf integration, PR resolution via GitHub CLI, copying gitignored files across worktrees, and per-step merge control. The tool is positioned as especially useful for AI agent-based parallel development workflows.
