Three steps to your first agent session.
Step 1: Add a project
Click the + icon in the sidebar or press ⌘+⇧+N (macOS) / Ctrl+⇧+N (Windows/Linux), then select a git repository folder. Pane indexes the repo and shows it in the sidebar.
Step 2: Create a pane
Click + next to your project, type a feature name, and click Create. Pane creates an isolated git worktree automatically.
Create Pane
Creates a new git worktree with an isolated branch
Step 3: You’re in a terminal
Your new pane opens directly to a terminal. Run any CLI agent — no extra setup.
What just happened
Pane created a git worktree — a fully isolated copy of your repo on its own branch. Every pane gets its own working directory, so agents never overwrite each other’s work.
Switch between open panes with ⌘+A (previous) and ⌘+D (next).
Pane defaults to origin/main. If your team uses a different base (e.g. origin/develop or origin/staging), change it in the Base branch dropdown when creating a pane.
Each project supports a custom system prompt (injected into the agent on startup) and a run script (executed before the agent starts). Configure both in Settings → Project. See Configuration for details.
Use the Count field in the Create Pane dialog to spin up several isolated worktrees in one click. Each gets a numbered branch based on the feature name you enter. You can also just click + again after the first pane is created.
