Show HN: Workz – Zoxide for Git worktrees (auto node_modules and .env, AI-ready)
rohansx Wednesday, February 25, 2026
workz fixes the #1 pain with git worktrees in 2026:
When you spin up a new worktree for Claude/Cursor/AI agents you always end up: • Manually copying .env* files • Re-running npm/pnpm install (or cargo build) and duplicating gigabytes
workz does it automatically: • Smart symlinking of 22 heavy dirs (node_modules, target, .venv, etc.) with project-type detection • Copies .env*, .npmrc, secrets, docker overrides • Zoxide-style fuzzy switch: just type `w` → beautiful skim TUI + auto `cd` • `--ai` flag launches Claude/Cursor directly in the worktree • Zero-config for Node/Rust/Python/Go. Custom .workz.toml only if you want
Install: brew tap rohansx/tap && brew install workz # or cargo install workz

Feedback very welcome, especially from people running multiple AI agents in parallel!
