Yes! By default, every new task runs in its own worktree. In the .emdash.json config (or in the UI on your project page), you can specify setup, run, and teardown scripts -- pnpm install, pnpm run dev, etc.

We also inject convenience env vars into every task. For example, $EMDASH_PORT gives each task a unique port, so you can do PORT=$EMDASH_PORT pnpm run dev and never collide on dev servers.

More here https://docs.emdash.sh/project-config -- does that help?

THANK YOU!!

This seems like just what I was looking for — amazing!!

I hope I have the time to test-run it over the coming days.

If this really ups my ante, I'll get the whole team using it at our studio. Looks promising!
