SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Managing multiple git worktree sandboxes across local and remote hosts is error-prone and tedious. wt provides a unified workflow to create, enter, run commands in, list, and remove isolated sandboxes while keeping config and host management in sync.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create and manage git worktree sandboxes on local or remote hosts with consistent layout and metadata.
  • Enter a sandbox, run commands, list sandboxes, and prune stale sandboxes to support branch testing, feature experimentation, and collaborative workflows.
  • Configure remote hosts and share sandbox templates or usage guidance via a SKILL.md file for agent agents.

Quick Start

Create a local sandbox from the current branch and enter it to start working immediately.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate git worktree management across remote hosts?

Git worktree sandbox management uses a unified CLI workflow to create, enter, and prune isolated branch environments on local or remote hosts. This automates sandbox lifecycles and synchronizes host configurations to support branch testing and feature experimentation.

How do I create and enter a git worktree sandbox for branch testing?

You create and enter a git worktree sandbox by running a CLI command that provisions an isolated environment from your current branch. This immediately drops you into the sandbox so you can run commands and test features without affecting the main workspace.

Does the wt CLI work with SSH for sandbox management on remote servers?

Yes, sandbox management via the wt CLI supports SSH connections to remote servers. It applies robust config and host interactions to ensure repeatable sandbox lifecycles for DevOps teams working across distributed remote hosts.

What is the best way to prune stale git worktree sandboxes?

The best way to prune stale git worktree sandboxes is using a CLI workflow that identifies and removes isolated environments no longer in use. This prevents disk clutter and keeps your local and remote sandbox listings accurate.

Can I get JSON output from sandbox lifecycle operations for automation?

Yes, sandbox lifecycle operations provide JSON output to support automation pipelines. The CLI structures its sandbox creation, listing, and removal outputs as JSON data so you can programmatically parse results and integrate them into automated DevOps workflows.

How do I share sandbox templates and usage guidance with AI agents?

You share sandbox templates and usage guidance with AI agents by providing a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter with the name and description. This file defines the sandbox configuration and instructions for agent interaction.
