Create a New Feature Workspace

Create a new wsp workspace for working on a feature across one or more repositories.

Arguments

• <name> (required) — the workspace name (typically a feature branch name like jganoff/my-feature)

Steps

1. Determine the template

Check if the current workspace was created from a template:

wsp st --json

Look at the created_from field in the JSON output. If it has a value, offer to use the same template. Otherwise, list available templates:

wsp template ls --json

Present the templates to the user and let them pick one. If no template fits, ask the user which repos to include.

2. Create the workspace

If using a template:

wsp new <name> -t <template> --json

If using ad-hoc repos:

wsp new <name> <repo1> <repo2> ... --json

3. Report the result

Parse the JSON output and report:

• The new workspace path
• Which repos were cloned
• The branch name

Tell the user they can cd into the workspace path to start working, or use wsp cd <name> if they have the shell integration set up.

Notes

• Always use --json when calling wsp programmatically. JSON output goes to stdout; progress messages go to stderr.
• If wsp new fails because mirrors are missing, suggest running wsp registry add <repo> first to set up the bare clones.
• The workspace name becomes the git branch name across all repos — keep it short and descriptive.
