I switched from tmux to Zellij a while back, and lately added a stop hook that sends a terminal ping to the correct tab when the agent is done (and I'm not looking at the tab). It has been pretty convenient so far.
I created `ygg`[0] a while back to easily spawn a new worktree when working with Claude/codex, and it also spawns that in a dedicated zellij tab. I think making the terminal multiplexer pluggable, so it would be easy to integrate something like this.
I tried it a bit, and while the potential is huge, I mostly just use a cli agent (claude/codex) via Blink shell (iPhone/iPad) with Wireguard for technical work or https://agency.nu for any automations using integration, voice chat etc.
I didn't necessarily select the one closest to what I currently use in the game, but more looking at the shapes of different characters to see what looked the "nicest".
Hey HN! I built ygg to make git worktrees easy to work with day-to-day with multiple Claude Code in the same repo. By running ygg new my-feature, it creates a worktree and a tab in zellij (if available) and you can get right to work. It even copies untracked files, so your .env files etc follow. When done, ygg remove will remove the current worktree and close the zellij tab.
Install via Homebrew: brew tap joch/ygg && brew install ygg
