rimba

Automates the full git worktree lifecycle — branch naming, file copying, dependency sharing, post-create hooks, and cleanup — so you can develop across multiple branches simultaneously with zero friction.

Worktree lifecycle

Create, list, and remove git worktrees with a single command. Each task gets its own isolated branch and directory.

Smart branch naming

Typed prefixes (feature/, bugfix/, docs/, …) are applied automatically based on flags — no manual branch naming.

File & dependency sharing

Declare files and vendor directories to copy or clone into every new worktree, so dependencies are ready from the first second.

Post-create hooks

Run arbitrary shell commands after each worktree is created — install tools, set env vars, open your editor, anything.

Sync, merge & cleanup

Rebase from the default branch, merge finished work, and delete the worktree and branch in one step with rimba merge.

MCP integration

Expose rimba operations as MCP tools so AI coding agents can create and manage worktrees on your behalf.
