# sandlot
A CLI for branch-based development using git worktrees and [Apple Container](https://github.com/apple/container). Each branch gets its own worktree and isolated container.
## Prerequisites
- macOS on Apple Silicon
- [Bun](https://bun.sh)
- [Apple Container](https://github.com/apple/container) (`brew install container`)
- Git
### First-time setup
After installing Apple Container, run `container system start` in your terminal. It will prompt to install the Kata kernel — say yes. This is a one-time step.
## Install
```bash
git clone https://github.com/your/sandlot
cd sandlot
bun install
bun link
```
## Usage
Run all commands from inside a cloned git repo.
### Start a session
```bash
sandlot new fix-POST
```
Creates a worktree, boots a container, and launches Claude Code inside it.
### Other commands
```bash
sandlot list # show all sessions
sandlot open <branch> # re-enter a session
sandlot stop <branch> # stop a container without destroying it
sandlot rm <branch> # tear down session (container, worktree, local branch)
```
Use git directly for commits, pushes, merges, etc. The worktree is a normal git checkout.
