Platform Support
- macOS: Opens new Terminal.app windows with Claude Code
- Linux: Supports gnome-terminal, konsole, xterm
- VSCode: Works on all platforms (requires
codecommand)
Notes
- Each worktree gets its own terminal/editor window automatically
- Small delays between opening multiple terminals prevent stacking
- All worktrees share the same
.gitdatabase - Worktrees are created in the parent directory with format:
<repo-name>-<feature-name> - Requires: git, python3
