  "Do not be hasty."

A shell function for managing git worktrees across projects. Worktrees are stored under ~/.treebeard/<repo>/<name>, keeping them organized and out of your project directories.

1. Clone or download this repository.
2. Add the following line to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

source /path/to/treebeard/treebeard

3. Reload your shell:

source ~/.bashrc   # or source ~/.zshrc

Creates a new git worktree for the current repository, checked out on a new branch named <name>.

Must be run from inside a git repository.

cd ~/projects/myrepo
treebeard new my-feature
# Created worktree at ~/.treebeard/myrepo/my-feature

Lists all worktrees managed by treebeard, grouped by repository.

treebeard list
# myrepo/my-feature
# myrepo/other-branch
# otherrepo/fix-bug

Changes the current directory to the specified worktree.

treebeard cd myrepo/my-feature

Copies a file into the specified worktree directory.

treebeard cp myrepo/my-feature ./config.json

Moves a file into the specified worktree directory.

treebeard mv myrepo/my-feature ./config.json

Removes the specified worktree and deletes its associated branch.

treebeard rm myrepo/my-feature
# Removed worktree myrepo/my-feature

Removes all worktrees whose branch has already been merged into the main branch, and deletes those branches. Automatically detects main or master if no branch is specified.

treebeard prune
# Pruned myrepo/my-feature (merged into main)

treebeard prune develop
# Pruned myrepo/my-feature (merged into develop)

Worktrees are stored at ~/.treebeard/<repo>/<name>. The repo name is derived automatically from the root of the current git repository. This keeps worktrees centralized and separate from the original project directories.
