Stop Getting Lost in Terminals - Level Up Your Workflow with Conductor

The Problem

If you are like me, running multiple sessions across different projects in the terminal is a daily struggle.

It gets even messier when you use Git Worktrees. While worktrees are amazing for parallel development, managing them in a raw terminal is hard. You lose track of which directory corresponds to which feature branch, and you have no visual cue of your project’s status.

That’s why I started using Conductor.

I recorded a walkthrough video demonstrating Conductor in action:

In this post, I want to break down why this tool is a game-changer for modern developers, especially those into “Vibe Coding” or Claude Code environments.

1. Visualizing the Chaos

The hardest part of managing multiple projects in a terminal is the lack of a bird’s-eye view.

Conductor provides a structured UI that organizes your chaos. Instead of a flat list of directory names, Conductor groups your Worktrees logically under their parent Projects. You can instantly see the relationship between your main repo and your feature branches without typing ls or git worktree list a dozen times.

2. The Killer Feature: Setup Scripts & Soft Links

This is the technical highlight from my walkthrough.

The biggest friction point with Git Worktrees is the clean slate problem. When you create a new worktree, it doesn’t have your node_modules or your .env files. You usually have to:

• Run npm install again (wasting time and disk space).
• Manually copy your environment variables.

Conductor solves this elegantly with Setup Scripts. It automates the initialization process by creating Soft Links to your dependencies and environment files.

The result? You spin up a worktree, and it’s ready to run immediately. No missing dependencies, no environment errors.

3. Built for “Vibe Coding”

Conductor isn’t just a launcher; it’s a dashboard designed for the claude code viber.

It integrates everything you need to maintain your flow:

• Git Diff checks: See what you changed instantly.
• GitHub Status: Check PR status without leaving the app.
• Integrated Terminal: Run commands right where you manage your files.

It streamlines the context switching that usually kills productivity. It is significantly more powerful than a basic terminal session and more focused than a heavy IDE.

Try it Out

If you find yourself vibe coding a lot or drowning in multiple worktrees, give Conductor a try. It’s designed to make your workflow smoother, faster, and much more enjoyable.
