[2.0.0] - 2026-01-20

​
Breaking Changes

Version 2.0.0 includes breaking changes to naming patterns and commands.
  • Renamed prompt: “Branch name:” is now “Worktree & branch name:” — same name used for both
  • New naming pattern: {repo}-{name} instead of {repo}-{branch}-wt-{suffix}
  • ESC behavior: Press ESC to set worktree and branch names separately
  • Removed: remove command replaced by rm

​
Added

  • Batch creation: gwt a b c creates multiple worktrees at once
  • Status dashboard: gwt status shows changes, commits ahead/behind, merge status
  • Smart cleanup: gwt clean removes merged worktrees, gwt clean --all removes all
  • Merge helper: gwt merge <name> merges branch to main and cleans up
  • New compact UI with └ bracket style output
  • Full command transparency — see every git command as it runs
  • Full path shown after Create step
  • -x / --no-editor flag to skip opening editor
  • gwt config command to open config file
  • gwt config reset to reset defaults
  • 77 passing tests with 80% coverage
  • Command aliases: rm/remove, status/st, clean/c, merge/m

​
Changed

  • Tighter output spacing with unified timeline
  • Truncated paths in commands for readability (.../worktree-name)
  • Brief descriptions under each step
  • Green ◆ for completed steps, red for errors
