Built by Kyle Redelinghuys

A friendly CLI tool for managing multiple git worktrees, perfect for juggling different features, experiments, or Claude Code sessions without the context-switching headaches.

ccswitch helps you create and manage git worktrees with a clean, intuitive interface. Each worktree gets its own directory, letting you work on multiple features simultaneously without stashing changes or switching branches in place.

• 🚀 Quick Session Creation - Describe what you're working on, get a branch and worktree instantly
• 📋 Interactive Session List - See all your active work sessions with a clean TUI
• 🧹 Smart Cleanup - Remove worktrees and optionally delete branches when done
• 🗑️ Bulk Cleanup - Remove ALL worktrees at once with cleanup --all (perfect for spring cleaning!)
• 🐚 Shell Integration - Automatically cd into new worktrees (no copy-pasting paths!)
• 🎨 Pretty Output - Color-coded messages and clean formatting

# 🚀 What are you working on? Fix authentication bug
# ✓ Created session: feature/fix-authentication-bug
#   Branch: feature/fix-authentication-bug
#   Path: /home/user/project/../fix-authentication-bug
# 
# Automatically switches to the new directory!

ccswitch list
# Shows an interactive list of all your worktrees
# Use arrow keys to navigate, Enter to select, q to quit

ccswitch switch
# Interactive selection of session to switch to

ccswitch switch fix-auth-bug
# Direct switch to a specific session
# Automatically changes to the session directory!

ccswitch cleanup
# Select a session interactively, or:

ccswitch cleanup fix-authentication-bug
# Delete branch feature/fix-authentication-bug? (y/N): y
# ✓ Removed session and branch: fix-authentication-bug

# Bulk cleanup - remove ALL worktrees at once!
ccswitch cleanup --all
# ⚠️  You are about to remove the following worktrees:
#   • feature-1 (feature/feature-1)
#   • feature-2 (feature/feature-2)
#   • bugfix-1 (feature/bugfix-1)
# Press Enter to continue or Ctrl+C to cancel...
# Delete associated branches as well? (y/N): y
# ✓ Successfully removed: feature-1
# ✓ Successfully removed: feature-2
# ✓ Successfully removed: bugfix-1
# ✅ All 3 worktrees removed successfully!
# ✓ Switched to main branch

1. Session Creation: Converts your description into a branch name (e.g., "Fix login bug" → feature/fix-login-bug)
2. Centralized Storage: Creates worktrees in ~/.ccswitch/worktrees/repo-name/session-name - your projects stay clean!
3. Automatic Navigation: The bash wrapper captures the output and cds you into the new directory
4. Session Tracking: Lists all worktrees except the main one as active sessions

• Go 1.21 or higher (for building)
• Git 2.20 or higher (for worktree support)
• Bash or Zsh (for shell integration)

• Use descriptive session names - they become your branch names!
• Regular cleanup keeps your workspace tidy
• Each worktree is independent - perfect for testing different approaches
• The tool respects your current branch when creating new sessions

"Failed to create worktree"

• Check if the branch already exists: git branch -a
• Ensure you're in a git repository
• Verify you have write permissions in the parent directory

Shell integration not working

• Make sure you've sourced the bash wrapper
• Check that ccswitch is in your PATH
• Try using the full path: /usr/local/bin/ccswitch
