Installing autowt

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:

  • Python 3.10+: You can check your version with python3 --version.
  • Git 2.5+: autowt relies on modern git worktree functionality. Check your version with git --version. Git 2.5 was released in 2015, so this shouldn’t be a problem.
  • A supported terminal (recommended): For the best experience, use a terminal with good tab and window management, like tmux, or iTerm2 on macOS. See the Terminal Support page for more details.

uv (preferred)

# note the 'tool' subcommand!
uv tool install autowt

Pip

If you have a global pip environment, you can install there.
