What is Worktrunk?
Worktrunk is a CLI for Git worktree management, designed for running AI agents in parallel. Git worktrees give each agent its own working directory so agents don't step on each other.
Three core commands make worktrees as easy as branches, and there are quality-of-life features such as hooks to automate local workflows and copy-on-write build caches. Full documentation is at worktrunk.dev.
