Hi! Congratulations on building something new!

I'm going to look into it soon, but since you might be hanging around here, I'll ask: do I have a quick way of telling the system how to actually creating a worktree efficiently?

Here's my problem: I want to do manual testing for several things, especially frontend related ones. However, every worktree needs its own ports, and specific particularities (e.g. so docker volumes don't collide). `git config --worktree` is supposed to help with this (and I'll be looking at it pretty soon), but it seems very primitive.

Is there a way for me to tell Emdash: "Hey, when you create a new worktree, you need to run this script"?

Thanks in advance and, once again, congrats on building something new, clearly in the direction we are going.

Yes! By default, every new task runs in its own worktree. In the .emdash.json config (or in the UI on your project page), you can specify setup, run, and teardown scripts -- pnpm install, pnpm run dev, etc.

We also inject convenience env vars into every task. For example, $EMDASH_PORT gives each task a unique port, so you can do PORT=$EMDASH_PORT pnpm run dev and never collide on dev servers.

More here https://docs.emdash.sh/project-config -- does that help?

THANK YOU!!

This seems like just what I was looking for — amazing!!

I hope I have the time to test-run it over the coming days.

If this really ups my ante, I'll get the whole team using it at our studio. Looks promising!
