Git worktrees are great, but the syntax is much more involved, and requires me to decide where worktrees go which I dont really care.

gtree is a simple shell script which provides two commands to fully your workflow:

gtree add <branch>: create a new worktree for a branch in a default directory and cd to it. if branch doesnt exist, create it.

gtree packup: remove the current worktree and change back to the main repo. Optionally immediately change to the worktree branch using `-c`

Been using it for a few days and it works really well for me - curios what y'all think!
