GitPool manages a pool of pre-initialized Git worktrees for instant checkouts without waiting for git operations.
go install github.com/albertywu/gitpool/gp@latestgp start # Start the background daemon
gp stop # Stop the daemon
gp track <repo> <path> # Track a Git repository
gp untrack <repo> # Stop tracking a repository
gp list # List all worktrees
gp claim <repo> <branch> # Claim a worktree
gp release <worktree-id> # Release a worktree back to the pool
gp show <worktree-id> # Show worktree details
gp refresh <repo> # Fetch updates and refresh idle worktrees- Instant checkouts - Worktrees are pre-fetched and ready
- Resource efficient - Shared Git objects across worktrees
- Automatic maintenance - Background daemon keeps pool healthy
- Branch isolation - Unique branch names prevent conflicts
- JSON output - Easy integration with scripts and CI/CD
