Release Notes for v0.1.0

🎉 Introducing gt - Git Worktree Manager

I'm excited to announce the first release of gt, a blazing fast TUI that makes Git worktrees actually pleasant to use.

If you've ever lost work to a messy stash, struggled with branch switching, or ended up with repo-backup, repo-new, repo-actually-working directories everywhere - this tool is for you.

✨ What is gt?

gt makes Git worktrees as easy as breathing. Each branch gets its own working directory. No more stashing, no more conflicts, just instant context switching.

Quick Demo

# Create and switch to a new worktree instantly
gt feature-auth

# Create from a specific branch
gt hotfix main

# Or use the beautiful TUI
gt

🚀 Key Features

Instant Worktree Creation

  • gt feature-x - Create and switch in one command
  • No configuration needed - works out of the box
  • Automatically organizes worktrees in .worktrees/

Beautiful Interactive TUI

  • See all worktrees at a glance
  • Visual status indicators (dirty/clean/current)
  • Real-time commit info and timestamps
  • Fuzzy search across branches and commits

Smart Automation

  • Auto-adds .worktrees/ to .gitignore
  • Respects your $SHELL preference
  • Configurable storage location
  • Zero dependencies - single binary

🎯 Why gt?

Git worktrees are powerful but clunky to use. gt makes them feel native:

  • No more lost stashes - Each branch has its own directory
  • No more context switching overhead - Just switch directories
  • No more merge conflicts after stash pop - Nothing to pop
  • No more "Cannot switch branch with uncommitted changes" - Switch anytime

  • Written in Go for blazing performance
  • Built with Bubble Tea for a delightful TUI
  • Signed and notarized on macOS
  • Cross-platform: macOS (Intel/Apple Silicon) and Linux (amd64/arm64)
  • Single static binary with no runtime dependencies
