i have shell scripts that create/tear down worktrees. the shell script finds unique unused ports across all existing worktrees and assigns in local .env upon worktree creation. when the worktree gets merged and is torn down the ports get released. secrets that are not worktree-specific i don't keep in local .env i inject via shell.

honestly creating these local scripts for automating the dev work was trivial and they combine well with all other cli tooling. thats why i havent tried any of the GUI apps yet. im not sure they're able to compete with my custom local setup that works exactly the way i want.
