Git worktree manager for parallel AI agent development.

Spin up isolated git worktrees, each with its own branch, and automatically launch an AI coding agent inside them. Work on multiple features simultaneously without stashing or switching branches.

Install

npm install -g @priyashpatil/rift

Or try it without installing:

npx @priyashpatil/rift

Then run rift config to set up shell integration, and rift init inside a git project to create a rift.yaml. See the Getting Started guide for the full walkthrough.

Supported editors

VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. All three support managed workspaces — rift code creates a .code-workspace file that includes all active worktrees.

JetBrains IDEs and Zed have multi-root workspace support that is either in early stages or only partially implemented. Rift does not have built-in support for these editors at the moment. You can still use them by setting a custom editor command in rift.yaml, but rift code won’t manage a shared workspace file for them.

Supported agents

Any CLI agent works — just set the command in rift.yaml. Common agents include Amp, Claude Code, Codex, Continue, Copilot, Gemini, Kiro, and OpenCode, but you can use any command (e.g. aider, claude --model opus, or a custom script).
