worktree-compose
Zero-config Docker Compose isolation for git worktrees
What it does
worktree-compose automatically gives every git worktree its own isolated Docker Compose stack. It solves environment conflicts when running parallel developers or AI agents by isolating ports, databases, caches, and containers with zero configuration. Launch multiple experiments, compare live URLs, and promote the best result.

docker-compose is great for single node docker deployments, but it doesn't have a feature that would allow zero downtime deployments. It's not possible to deploy often if your app goes down every time, and using Kubernetes/Nomad/Swarm on a single node is an overkill. I created this Docker plugin to be a drop-in replacement for the restart command in usual docker-compose deployment scripts. It performs a simple rolling deployment of a single service.
- CCCoasts – Containerized Hosts for AgentsMar 2026 · github.com · ▲99
Hi HN - We've been working on Coasts (“containerized hosts”) to make it so you can run multiple localhost instances, and multiple docker-compose runtimes, across git worktrees on the same computer. Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRiySdGQZZA. There are also videos in our docs that give a good conceptual overview: https://coasts.dev/docs/learn-coasts-videos. Agents can make code changes in different worktrees in isolation, but it's hard for them to test their changes without multiple localhost runtimes that are isolated and scoped to those…
- GWGit-workty – I got tired of Git stash and built a worktree wrapperJan 2026 · github.com · ▲7
I context-switch a lot. Someone pings me about a bug while I'm mid-feature, and I either: 1. `git stash` (and forget what's in there forever) 2. Make a "WIP: stuff" commit (clutters history) 3. Ignore them until I'm done (not great) Worktrees solve this perfectly – each task gets its own directory, fully isolated. But the commands are clunky and I kept forgetting the syntax. So I built a small CLI wrapper. Now my workflow is: ``` wnew feat/login # creates worktree + cd into it # ...do work... wcd # fuzzy-pick another worktree, cd there wgo main # jump straight to main ``` Dashboard…
- CCContainer-compose – A Docker-compose like tool for Apple containers2025 · github.com · ▲59
Hey HN, recently Apple release their own container manager tooling, but it's missing a "compose-like" tool. I'm building this CLI as a side-project and a way to help on the usage with the main tool. It's in a early version, then at the moment I'm trying to be as much as possible compatible with `docker-compose` config file, and in the current version we're supporting two commands: `up` and `down`.
