# Hook: Worktree Ghostty Layout
#
# Creates git worktrees in a sibling directory and opens a Ghostty terminal
# in a 2x2 layout: Claude Code (TL), lazygit (TR), terminal (BL), yazi (BR).
# Prompts for a custom branch name via macOS dialog; leave empty for auto-generated.
#
# Events:
#   - WorktreeCreate: Creates worktree + opens Ghostty 2x2 layout
#   - WorktreeRemove: Removes worktree, branch, and empty directories
#
# Requirements:
#   - jq (JSON parsing)
#   - Ghostty terminal (macOS)
#   - lazygit (git TUI)
#   - yazi (file manager TUI)
#
# Ghostty keybindings required:
#   super+d            = new_split:right
#   super+shift+d      = new_split:down
#   super+alt+left     = goto_split:left

Thanks!
It helps me a lot.
