| ▲ | Show HN: Git-workty – I got tired of Git stash and built a worktree wrapper(github.com) | |

I context-switch a lot. Someone pings me about a bug while I'm mid-feature, and I either: 1. `git stash` (and forget what's in there forever) 2. Make a "WIP: stuff" commit (clutters history) 3. Ignore them until I'm done (not great) Worktrees solve this perfectly – each task gets its own directory, fully isolated. But the commands are clunky and I kept forgetting the syntax. So I built a small CLI wrapper. Now my workflow is: ``` wnew feat/login # creates worktree + cd into it # ...do work... wcd # fuzzy-pick another worktree, cd there wgo main # jump straight to main ``` Dashboard shows everything at a glance: ``` ▶ feat/login ● 3 ↑2↓0 ~/.workty/repo/feat-login
```Written in Rust, ~2k lines. Refuses to delete dirty worktrees unless you force it. https://github.com/binbandit/workty Curious if anyone else has this problem or solved it differently. | ||
