The project describes itself as stable and feature-complete for its core functionality. The tool grew around YAML configuration and familiar shell syntax, with both a garden CLI and a garden-gui interface available from the same project. ### Adoption history Garden has been packaged for developers through cargo install, GitHub release binaries, Homebrew, Fedora, and related package collections. Its own README links both current package-manager entries and a legacy Homebrew tap for older versions. ### How it is used Garden is used to bootstrap Git-based multi-repository development environments, apply git config and remotes to worktrees, grow new worktrees, and run commands across repository collections. Its configuration discovery searches project, user, and global garden.yaml paths. ### Why package nerds care Garden is interesting to package-oriented developers because it treats a fleet of Git repositories as a configured workspace while staying close to standard Unix shells and Git behavior. It competes with heavier repo-management systems by being a small Rust CLI with explicit config search paths and static Linux binaries. ### Timeline - 2021: Official GitHub mirror created. - 2024: v1.5.0 and later 1.x releases published on GitHub. - 2025: v2.0.0 released. - 2026: v2.6.0 released. ### Related projects - Garden is related to Git worktrees, command runners such as make, Garden GUI, the garden-tools Rust crate, and Garden seeds, a companion repository of reusable Garden templates. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
