FAQPage Schema
How do I open multiple iTerm tabs for git worktrees automatically?▼

To open multiple iTerm tabs for git worktrees automatically, you can use a script that lists all non-main worktrees in a repository and opens each in a separate tab. This automates the development environment setup process.

Do I need any specific tools to open all worktree tabs in iTerm?▼

Yes, opening all worktree tabs in iTerm requires the crewchief CLI to list the worktrees and the iterm-open-tab.sh plugin to execute the tab opening commands within the iTerm terminal environment.

Can I filter which git worktree tabs are opened in iTerm?▼

Yes, you can filter which git worktree tabs are opened in iTerm by using specific patterns to match only desired worktrees. This allows you to selectively open tabs rather than loading every non-main worktree.

What is the best way to manage terminal tabs for a multi-worktree development workflow?▼

The best way to manage terminal tabs for a multi-worktree development workflow is using an automated script that applies consistent naming conventions to each tab, ensuring order and easy navigation across active worktrees.
