raine/workmux: A Cleaner Way to Run Parallel Git Worktrees

Description and use

workmux links Git worktrees to dedicated tmux windows, simplifying parallel branch work and reducing mistakes.

Problem

Managing multiple Git branches with separate terminals and directories becomes chaotic and error‑prone.

Outcome

Parallel development becomes streamlined: isolated directories, dedicated tmux contexts, and repeatable commands reduce setup time and errors.

Workflow

  • Install workmux via its README instructions.
  • Use workmux add <branch> to create a worktree and tmux workspace for a branch.
  • Use workmux list to view all active workspaces.
  • Use workmux remove <branch> to clean up finished worktrees and tmux sessions.
  • Open editors (e.g., Cursor) or run servers/tests in the corresponding tmux windows for each branch.

Evidence

Each branch gets an isolated directory and a dedicated tmux context.

Source

Worktrees share the same Git repository data, but each checkout still needs its own dependencies, build artifacts, and environment configuration.
