01 / A different way to branch

Development is parallel.
Your workspace
should be, too.

A feature in progress. A bug that can’t wait. A pull request to review. Git worktrees give each one a separate directory, sharing the same repository.

WorktreeWise keeps them all within reach. Pick up where you left off.

Create in seconds.
Configured your way.

Spin up linked worktrees from HEAD, an existing branch, a tag, or a commit. Automate folder paths, run pre- and post-creation hooks, and check out only the files you need.

  • Create from HEAD, branches, tags, or commits
  • Pre- and post-creation hooks for repeatable setup
  • Predictable folder naming with sparse checkout and isolation

04 / Full worktree lifecycle

Rename, move, delete,
lock & unlock.

Manage every phase of your worktree visually. Move directories across drives, synchronize folder and branch renames, and shield worktrees against accidental pruning.

FOLDER & BRANCH SYNCgit worktree move

Rename worktree directories and their linked Git branches simultaneously without desynchronization.

  • Automatic updating of internal .git pointers
  • Protects against data loss when uncommitted changes exist
  • 1-click actions from the worktree sidebar context menu

05 / Predictable naming patterns

Automate folder paths.
Standardize your workspace.

Define automated folder naming conventions for new worktrees. Use dynamic variables like {repo}_wt_{branch} or {repo}_{branch} to ensure consistent, predictable directory structures across your machine without manual path typing.

  • Dynamic placeholders for repository name, branch, and worktree id
  • Instant dropdown suggestions for common directory standards
  • Keep multiple projects organized with zero directory path collisions

06 / Per-worktree Git config

Separate identities.
One clean repository.

Isolate Git configuration values to individual worktrees without modifying global or repository defaults. Keep work and personal commit emails, custom signing keys, or branch-specific configurations isolated to each workspace.

  • Branch-specific user.name and user.email configurations
  • Powered natively by Git’s extensions.worktreeConfig
  • Never accidentally commit to a team repository with the wrong email or identity

HEALTH & REPAIRSELF-HEALING

07 / One-click link repair

Moved a folder?
Heal broken links instantly.

Moving repository or worktree folders on disk breaks Git’s bidirectional administrative pointers. WorktreeWise detects damaged worktrees with visual warnings and reconnects them with a single click.

  • Real-time visual detection of broken .git pointers and missing administrative metadata
  • 1-click git worktree repair reconnects main repository and linked directories
  • Context menu action accessible directly from the worktrees sidebar
Read the repair guide

08 / Prune stale worktrees

Clean ghost records.
Free locked branches.

Deleting worktree directories manually leaves behind orphaned Git metadata, preventing you from checking out that branch again. Review damaged worktrees and safely prune stale records in batch.

  • Diagnostic inspection shows why each orphaned worktree requires attention
  • Safely removes stale administrative files without touching active branches
  • Immediately release locked branches so you can check them out again

09 / Visual Git context

Your branches,
with the full picture.

See the commit graph and keep each worktree’s Git context close to the work. Follow branch topology, compare commits, and inspect history without leaving your active workspace.

  • Visual commit graph with branch labels, tags, and HEAD indicators
  • Follow branch divergence and inspect commit differences
  • Keep Git context close to your working tree

10 / Terminal workspace

The right directory.
Every time.

Open multiple terminal panes rooted in their worktrees. Arrange sessions in a flexible grid, run dev servers, builds, and tests side by side without directory mix-ups.

11 / Worktrees for your coding agents

Give every agent
its own branch.

Run Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity, Qwen, Kimi, OpenCode, and other supported coding agents side by side. Each gets its own working directory, so one task’s edits stay separate from another’s.

You’re in the right place.

Ask us a question
What is WorktreeWise?

WorktreeWise is a desktop Git worktree manager and GUI for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Create and manage worktrees, open your IDE, run terminal and AI agent sessions, and automate commands across branches from one workspace.

Why use Git worktrees instead of switching branches or cloning again?

Git worktrees give each checked-out branch its own working directory while sharing the repository’s Git objects. Keep a feature, a bug fix, and a pull request review open at once without repeatedly stashing and restoring your work. Each worktree still uses disk space for its files, dependencies, and build output.

How is this different from the Git CLI?

WorktreeWise uses native Git, so your repository stays compatible with the Git CLI and existing tools. It adds a visual place to create, rename, move, lock, repair, and prune worktrees, inspect their health, and launch the right development tools. No repository conversion is required.

Can I run multiple AI coding agents?

Yes. Launch supported coding agents, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity, Qwen, Kimi, and OpenCode, in separate worktree sessions. Separate working directories keep their file changes apart. Agents still need their own installation and account; worktrees are not a security sandbox.

Can I automate commands across worktrees?

Yes. Create reusable workflows and run commands sequentially or in parallel across selected worktrees. Import or duplicate workflows and inspect execution logs. Pre- and post-creation hooks can handle recurring setup steps.

Does it work with my editor and operating system?

WorktreeWise runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and can open a worktree in your configured IDE or terminal. The WorktreeWise JetBrains plugin helps preserve bookmarks, run configurations, and IDE context.

Is it useful for pull request reviews and QA?

Yes. Check out a pull request, tag, or commit in its own worktree. Review changes, run tests, compare versions, or try a different approach while your original branch remains open.

What happens after the included year of updates?

A one-time Pro purchase includes 12 months of updates and support. Keep using the latest version released during that window forever. Renew only if you want access to later updates and support.

Can I try it before buying?

Yes. Start a 10-day free trial with no credit card required. Try WorktreeWise with your own repositories before purchasing. Purchases are non-refundable under the current refund policy.
