workmux pairs Git worktrees with tmux to streamline parallel branch development
A new open-source tool called workmux, developed by GitHub user raine, combines Git worktrees with tmux windows to simplify parallel development workflows. The tool lets developers create, list, and remove isolated branch workspaces using simple commands, eliminating the need to manually track terminal tabs and directory paths. Each branch gets its own dedicated directory and tmux context, making it practical to work on multiple tasks — such as bug fixes, feature branches, and code reviews — simultaneously. The project gained over 45 stars in a single day, signalling early interest from developers seeking a lightweight branch management alternative. Users should note that each worktree requires its own dependencies and environment setup, and those unfamiliar with tmux may face a brief learning curve.
