Show HN: Pertmux – A TUI to unify your coding agents, MRs and worktrees

Hey HN! Since terminal coding agents took over my workflow, I've been juggling more worktrees and MRs than ever — constantly switching between GitLab/GitHub dashboards, tmux sessions, and git worktrees. Agents would sit idle, MRs needed rebasing, and I'd miss it all while focused on my main task. Hence I built Pertmux. It's a Rust TUI (shout out to ratatui — http://ratatui.rs) that links everything together in one dashboard: MRs from GitHub/GitLab, git worktrees, tmux panes, and coding agents. Select an MR and you see its linked branch, worktree, pipeline status dots, and which agent is working on it. Create and manage worktrees, jump straight into tmux panes, or send commands to agents (rebase, fix CI) — all without leaving the dashboard. It runs as a background daemon so the data is always fresh, and can pop up as a tmux overlay so it's

one keybind away. Built for my own workflow around neovim + tmux + opencode. The architecture is pluggable (traits for forges and agents), and there's an AGENTS.md to onboard coding agents for customization. I'd encourage you to fork, open Issues/MRs and do what you want. I think we're all better off building hyper specific tools to fit our own needs since it's easier than ever before to do, and I hope Pertmux at least provides you a great jumping off point. Heavily inspired by workmux so shout out to them! https://github.com/raine/workmux Worktree management is based upon the fantastic CLI worktrunk: https://worktrunk.dev/

It seems like everyone wants to avoid running a local VM manually and I'm not sure why. It's a very simple solution that solves all these issues. If you're on a Mac working on a linux docker containers, your Docker engine is already running a VM (and a linux VM doesn't need one). So you're still only "one VM away" from the real environment. Most IDEs support directly working in the VM via SSH if you need to inspect the code. You then run --dangerously-skip-permissions and do all changes via PRs. I have been running this combined with workmux [0] for a couple of months and highly recommend it. You can one-shot several whole PRs concurrently with this setup. The reason it beats a cloud VM is because when you're running multiple concurrent copies of all containers in a project, it quickly eats up memory. Running a cloud VM 24/7 with high eno
