How it works

Three steps. Zero friction.

01
/01

Issue opens

A GitHub Action runs and posts an "Open workspace" link as a comment on every new issue.

One-time setup per repo

Click the link

The link routes here. If Worktree is installed, the page triggers the daemon via a custom URL scheme.

Workspace opens

The daemon creates a local worktree directory and opens it in your configured editor. Instantly.

Editor agnostic

Your editor. Your rules.

Worktree reads a config file to decide which editor to launch. Any command that opens a directory works. Chain commands, set env vars, do whatever you need.
