Show HN: Lopper – A Git Worktree Cleaner

A developer released Lopper, an open-source tool that scans a machine for Git repositories and worktrees created by coding agents such as Codex, Claude Code, T3 Code, Orca, and Superset, and displays them in a single TUI for inspection and removal. Lopper also ships a CLI so scripts and agents can manage worktrees deterministically instead of relying on an agent to locate them. The project was posted to Hacker News as a Show HN with 1 point and 0 comments.

when I started using coding agents heavily, they began creating tons of Git worktrees. different tools like Codex, Claude Code, T3 Code, Orca, Superset, and others all put their worktrees in different directories, which made them pretty hard to find. I know you can just ask an agent to find them, and a lot of people do exactly that. but I wanted a deterministic solution that wouldn't depend on an agent getting things right or waste extra tokens. so.. I built Lopper it's a tool that searches for git repositories and worktrees across different directories on your machine and shows them all in one place in a TUI, where you can inspect them and remove the ones you no longer need. it also has a CLI for scripts and agents, so they can manage worktrees more reliably. would you use something like this? what am I missing compared to just asking an agent to handle it?
