rimba open

Open a worktree or run a command inside it. When called with just a task name, prints the worktree path to stdout. When given additional arguments, executes that command inside the worktree directory. Supports configurable shortcuts via the [open] config section.

Synopsis

rimba open <task> [command...] [flags]

Examples

rimba open my-task              # Print worktree path
cd $(rimba open my-task)        # Navigate to worktree
rimba open my-task --ide        # Run the 'ide' shortcut
rimba open my-task --agent      # Run the 'agent' shortcut
rimba open my-task -w test      # Run a named shortcut
rimba open my-task npm start    # Run an inline command

Common workflows

Navigate into a worktree

cd $(rimba open my-feature)

Open in your IDE (configured shortcut)

# In .rimba/settings.toml:
# [open]
# ide = "code ."
rimba open my-feature --ide

Launch an AI agent in the worktree

# In .rimba/settings.toml:
# [open]
# agent = "claude --dangerously-skip-permissions"
rimba open my-feature --agent

Run a one-off command without cd

rimba open my-feature git log --oneline -5
rimba open my-feature npm run lint

--ide, --agent, and --with are mutually exclusive with each other and with inline command arguments. Shortcuts are configured in the [open] section of .rimba/settings.toml — see Configuration.
