Parallel development across multiple repositories is managed by orchestrating ghq, gwq, and tmux to create per-repo worktrees, launch isolated development servers in tmux sessions, and provide cross-workspace command execution for synchronized frontend and backend workflows.
Running development servers in isolated tmux sessions is achieved using gwq tmux run. You attach a worktree to a tmux session and execute commands like npm run dev or go run main.go, keeping frontend and backend processes separate but synchronized.
Working on frontend and backend microservices concurrently is best done by creating per-repo worktrees with gwq add, enabling coordinated worktrees for simultaneous feature development and reducing the overhead of switching between repositories.
Yes, ghq, gwq, and tmux must be installed and configured to use parallel multi-repo workflows, as these dependencies are required to create per-repo worktrees, launch isolated tmux sessions, and execute cross-workspace status checks.
Yes, you can execute commands across active worktrees using gwq exec. This provides cross-worktree status checks and session management, allowing you to run tests or share commands across different repository workspaces simultaneously.
Checking the status of running processes in tmux development sessions is done using gwq status -g --show-processes. This provides a cross-workspace view of your active worktrees and their associated development servers in each session.
