Parallel development in tmux with git worktrees

The zero-friction workflow for git worktrees and tmux. Isolate contexts, run parallel AI agents, and merge with a single command.

Quick start

Installation

GitHub

Worktrees made simple

Create a git worktree, tmux window, and environment setup in one command. Context switching is instant.

Parallel AI agents

The missing link for AI coding. Delegate tasks to multiple agents simultaneously in isolated environments.

Native tmux

Tmux is the interface. No new TUI to learn. Just tmux windows you already know how to use.

Config as code

Define your tmux layout and setup steps in .workmux.yaml. Customize panes, file operations, and lifecycle hooks.

Why workmux?

The core principle is that tmux is the interface. If you already live in tmux, you shouldn't need yet another interface to manage your tasks. workmux turns multi-step git worktree operations into simple commands, making parallel workflows practical.

bash

# Start working on a feature
workmux add my-feature

# Done? Merge and clean up everything
workmux merge
