## Project history and usage

Garden is a Rust command runner and multi-repository Git configuration tool for managing collections of Git worktrees.

### Project history

Garden's official GitHub mirror was created in June 2021, while the README identifies GitLab as the canonical project home. 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.
