Workmux: Git worktrees and tmux for parallel AI agents (raine.dev)

Workmux is a new utility that combines the power of Git worktrees and tmux to streamline the management of parallel AI agents, enhancing developers' workflows in AI-assisted coding. By leveraging the lesser-known git feature of worktrees, which allows multiple branches to be checked out simultaneously, Workmux provides isolation for each agent's tasks, reducing type errors and build conflicts. This tool is particularly significant as it caters to the growing necessity for managing numerous parallel agents, making it easier to review changes and minimize context-switching interruptions. Developed for terminal-centric users, Workmux integrates familiar tmux workflows, automatically creating a tmux window for each worktree. The two primary commands allow users to create worktrees and tmux windows with ease, while also supporting advanced functionalities, like checking out pull requests or auto-generating branch names. With this setup, the tmux window list acts as a dashboard for monitoring agents' statuses and dispatching tasks efficiently. After testing, the creator found that Workmux transformed their Git workflow, favoring dedicated worktrees for each task, thus optimizing collaboration and productivity in AI development.
