Release Notes
Improved
- wt step diff --branch: wt step diff gained a -b/--branch flag, mirroring wt step commit, so the diff can target another worktree's branch without leaving the current one. The branch must have a checked-out worktree. (#2995)
- Squash templates can use commit bodies: The squash commit-message template gains an experimental {{ commit_details }} variable — a list of { subject, body } objects for the commits being squashed — alongside the existing {{ commits }} (now documented as the commit subjects). Templates can incorporate full commit bodies, not just subject lines. (#2983, thanks @florianilch)
- Recommended Claude Code commit command drops the CLAUDECODE= prefix: Claude Code removed the nested-session check that rejected claude -p launched from inside another session, so the workaround is gone. The recommended [commit.generation] command shown by wt config create no longer carries a leading CLAUDECODE=, and wt no longer strips CLAUDECODE from the environment before running commit-generation commands. (#2979)
Fixed
- Nushell wrapper installs where Nushell actually autoloads it: wt config shell install nu wrote wt.nu to $nu.default-config-dir/vendor/autoload, which Nushell never autoloads — on Linux the wrapper was written but silently never loaded, so wt was never wrapped (it happened to work on macOS/Windows by coincidence of path layout). It now installs to $nu.vendor-autoload-dirs | last, and install/uninstall clean up any worktrunk wrapper stranded at the old location. (#2992, thanks @nnutter for reporting)
- Claude Code hooks work for Fish shell users: The plugin's hook commands used ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} brace syntax, which Fish doesn't expand; they now use $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT, so the activity and worktree-lifecycle hooks fire correctly under Fish. (#2962, thanks @amw)
- Pager no longer wedges the terminal on Ctrl-C (Windows): Interrupting the --help pager (less) with Ctrl-C on Windows could leave the terminal in a broken state; less now quits cleanly on interrupt. (#2969, thanks @ofek for reporting)
- Clearer error when the default branch has no commits: In a freshly initialized repo whose default branch is unborn, merge/rebase/squash/push (and the diff report) failed with Default branch main does not exist locally plus a misleading hint to reset the cached value. They now report that the branch has no commits yet, without the wrong cache-reset suggestion. (#2990)
- diagnostic.md uploads as a gist again: The -vv diagnostic report inlined raw NUL bytes from NUL-separated git output, so gh gist create rejected it as a binary file. Control bytes in the subprocess preview are now escaped. (#2991)
- wt list tolerates a missing index file: A repo with no <gitdir>/index (nothing ever staged) made the temp-index probe fail; a missing index is now treated as an empty one, matching git's own behavior. (#2884)
- Inline code renders in --help section headings: Terminal --help showed literal backticks in headings authored with inline code (e.g. the wt config state logs heading Command log (commands.jsonl)). Headings now reduce inline code to plain text under the heading's uniform style. The --stage/--dry-run subsection headings in wt step commit/squash were also renamed to sentence case ("Staging", "Dry run"). (#3003)
Documentation
- wt switch docs give forge PR/MR URLs equal billing with pr:/mr:: The switch docs now present the full forge-URL form alongside the pr:N shortcut. (#2970)
- New FAQ entry on moving uncommitted changes to a new worktree. (#3002)
Internal
- Bare-repo prompt opt-out stored as a hint: worktrunk.skip-bare-repo-prompt moved under the worktrunk.hints. namespace, so it now lists under wt config state hints and clears with wt config state clear (previously a top-level key that escaped both). Clean cutover: users who already opted out are re-prompted once on their next wt switch --create in a dotted-name bare repo. (#3001)
