Nice -- yeah I definitely think it's possible to get configuration figured out for worktrees, but does require a some setup. Glad you all are in a good place on that front.

RE: setup required to make a project ready for VM deployment, not sure how complex your app is, but we've found that coding agents do a pretty good job at finding your dependencies locally, installing them on the remote, and ensuring your app runs on the remote end. If you have a few minutes, try out our auto-setup. Most people haven't had to lift a finger to get their apps running in VMs.
