# gwtr - Git Worktree Manager
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gwtr)
[](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
A simple Git worktree manager that creates worktrees in a consistent location alongside your main repository.
## Features
- **Consistent Naming**: Creates worktrees with the pattern `{repository_name}_{worktree_name}`
- **Automatic Branch Creation**: Creates a new branch when adding a worktree
- **Simple Commands**: Easy-to-remember commands for common worktree operations
- **Colored Output**: Clear, colored terminal output for better readability
- **Git Integration**: Works seamlessly with existing Git repositories
## How It Works
When you run `gwtr add feature-x` in a repository named `myproject`, it creates a new worktree at `../myproject_feature-x`. This keeps all related worktrees organized at the same directory level as your main repository.
## Installation
```bash
npm install -g gwtr
```
Or using other package managers:
```bash
# Using yarn
yarn global add gwtr
# Using pnpm
pnpm add -g gwtr
```
## Usage
```bash
# Create a new worktree
gwtr add feature-x
# List all worktrees
gwtr list
# Remove a worktree
gwtr remove feature-x
```
### Examples
```bash
# In a repository called "myapp"
$ gwtr add new-feature
Created worktree 'new-feature' at "../myapp_new-feature"
$ gwtr list
Worktrees:
/Users/you/dev/myapp (main) [main]
/Users/you/dev/myapp_new-feature [new-feature]
$ gwtr remove new-feature
Removed worktree 'new-feature' at "../myapp_new-feature"
```
