wt select

Interactive worktree selector. Browse and switch worktrees with live preview.

Examples

Open the selector:

wt select

Preview tabs

Toggle between views with number keys:

1. HEAD± — Diff of uncommitted changes
2. log — Recent commits; commits already on the default branch have dimmed hashes
3. main…± — Diff of changes since the merge-base with the default branch
4. remote⇅ — Diff vs upstream tracking branch (ahead/behind)

Keybindings

With --branches, branches without worktrees are included — selecting one creates a worktree. This matches wt list --branches.

Configuration

Pager

The preview panel pipes diff output through git's pager (typically less or delta). Override pager behavior in user config:

[select]
pager = "delta --paging=never"

This is useful when the default pager doesn't render correctly in the embedded preview panel.
