What I hoped, following the link from the homepage (not going directly to the post): "ah, something that helps with project management, like git worktrees?"

What I got: "oh, AI, sigh".

It feels like we're going through another round of what happened when "crypto" stopped unambiguously meaning "cryptography" and started being ambiguous with "cryptocurrency".

Can things that are trying to do AI write "AI", please? "AI agent worktree management" would have likely been a more useful description for people who do want it, as well.

While worktrunk is oriented at AI, it very much is a nicer abstraction on git worktrees that also happens to be ergonomic for you and I.

You can use Ghostree without AI at all and still get the benefit of worktree management bubbled up to the UI layer.

The description definitely doesn't make that clear; the README just mentions worktrunk, and worktrunk says "for parallel AI agent workflows".
