## What it is
gtr is a portable Bash-based CLI that manages Git worktrees, automating per-branch worktree creation, config copying, dependency installation, and workspace setup. It integrates with editors and AI coding agents to enable parallel development across multiple branches.

## Use cases
- manage git worktrees from the command line
- run multiple AI coding agents in parallel on different branches
- review pull requests without stashing current work
- automate per-branch dependency installation and workspace setup
- switch between feature branches without losing working state
- set up repeatable worktree environments for a repository

## When to choose
- you frequently juggle multiple branches and want isolated checkouts
- you run AI coding agents or editors that need separate workspaces per task
- you want automated, repeatable worktree setup including config and dependencies
- you prefer a lightweight Bash tool with no heavy runtime dependencies

## When to avoid
- you don't use Git or worktrees in your workflow
- you need a GUI-based Git client
- your environment lacks Bash 3.2+ and Git 2.17+
- you need deep IDE-integrated branch management instead of a CLI
