Subcommands

The thread family covers everything from starting a thread to cleaning one up. Each subcommand is listed here with its one-line summary; for the full reference, run heddle thread <subcommand> --help at the terminal. The CLI emits structured, publication-quality help.

  • thread create Create a thread ref at the current state
  • thread current Print the name of the current thread (the thread the working checkout is attached to). Read-only — no state change. Useful in shell pipelines: `cd "$(heddle thread cd "$(heddle thread current)")"`
  • thread switch Switch the current checkout to an existing thread ref
  • thread cd Print the on-disk path for a thread. Read-only — no state change, no auto-capture. Without a shell hook: cd "$(heddle thread cd X)" With `heddle shell init`, `heddle thread cd X` becomes `cd <path>`
