Worktrunk
Worktrunk uses branch names to address worktrees. Each worktree maps to exactly one branch; paths derive automatically.
Core Commands
wt switch
Navigate between or create worktrees.
wt switch feat # Switch to existing worktree
wt switch -c feat # Create new worktree/branch
wt switch -c feat -b main # Create from specific base branch
wt switch -c feat -x claude # Create and launch Claude
Shortcuts: ^ (default branch), @ (current), - (previous)
Key flags:
-c, --create— Create new branch/worktree-b, --base <BRANCH>— Base branch (default: repo default)-x, --execute <CMD>— Run command after switch-y, --yes— Skip prompts--no-verify— Skip hooks
wt list
Show all worktrees with status.
wt list # Basic listing
wt list --full # Include CI status, line diffs
wt list --format json # JSON output for scripting
wt list --branches # Include branches without worktrees
Status symbols: Staged, modified, untracked, conflicts, ahead/behind
wt merge
Merge feature branch to default (squash + rebase + merge + cleanup).
wt merge # Merge current to default branch
wt merge develop # Merge to specific branch
wt merge --no-squash # Keep individual commits
wt merge --no-remove # Keep worktree after merge
wt merge --no-commit # Stage but don't commit
Pipeline: squash → rebase → pre-merge hooks → merge → cleanup → post-merge hooks
wt remove
Clean up worktree and branch.
wt remove # Remove current worktree
wt remove feat # Remove specific worktree
Common Workflows
Start a new Claude agent on a feature
wt switch -c feature-name -x claude
# Or with alias:
alias wsc='wt switch --create -x claude'
wsc fix-bug -- 'Fix issue #123'
Complete and merge work
wt merge # Squash, merge to main, cleanup
Manage parallel agents
wt list --full # See all agents with status
wt switch other-feature # Jump to another worktree
Hooks
Configure project hooks with wt hook:
- post-create — Run after worktree creation (e.g., install deps)
- pre-merge — Run before merge (e.g., tests)
- post-merge — Run after merge completes
Use --no-verify on any command to skip hooks.
