Worktrunk (wt) for VS Code

A Worktrees sidebar for the wt CLI (must be on PATH, or set wt.path).

  • Every worktree with its state: uncommitted changes, ahead/behind the default branch, merge conflicts, already-merged
  • Create, switch, merge and remove worktrees from the view or the command palette
  • Status bar showing the current worktree; click to switch
  • Optional list of branches that have no worktree (open one to create its worktree)
  • Optional PR and CI badges (wt.showCi): #12 ✓, with the review state, branch summary and an "Open Pull Request" action
  • Branch markers (🤖 working, 💬 waiting, or any text) shown on the row, set with "Set Marker..."
  • "New Worktree with Agent..." runs wt switch --create X -x claude -- "task" in a terminal (wt.agentCommand)
  • "Switch to Pull Request..." runs wt switch pr:N (or mr:N) and offers to open the worktree
  • "Create From..." offers ^, @ and pr:N (a PR's head) as the base branch
  • "Show Hook Logs..." opens hook output (per worktree from the context menu, or all from the view menu)
  • Dev server link and a listening dot when the project defines list.url
  • Optional remote-only branches (wt.showRemotes)
  • Warnings for locked, prunable, mid-rebase/merge, duplicate and path-mismatched worktrees

Bare-repository layouts work: the view finds the repo through git rev-parse --git-common-dir.

Pull request switching needs gh or glab set up for wt. It is untested against a real forge here.

Create, remove, merge and prune run wt in a task terminal so hooks and output stay visible. The extension never passes -y.

The view refreshes when the git directory changes, when the window regains focus, on save, and every wt.refreshInterval seconds while visible.

Settings

Setting Purpose
wt.path The wt executable. Ignored in untrusted workspaces.
wt.openIn newWindow or currentWindow when switching.
wt.openAfterCreate ask, newWindow, currentWindow or never.
wt.showBranches Also list branches without a worktree.
wt.showRemotes Also list remote-only branches. Opening one creates a local tracking branch.
wt.showCi Add wt list --full (PR, CI, summaries). Uses the network; polled at most every 120 s.
wt.agentCommand Program for "New Worktree with Agent". Ignored in untrusted workspaces.
wt.refreshInterval Polling seconds; 0 disables.
wt.timeout Kill a hung wt list.

In remote, WSL and container windows, wt must be installed on the remote side.
