Pomelo Gives Every Git Branch Its Own Full Stack

Field notes

Pomelo assigns each branch a real Git worktree plus its own services, ports, and databases, reducing the need to rebuild or tear down an environment during context switches. The page describes database cloning with CREATE DATABASE TEMPLATE and dependency materialization through APFS copy-on-write cloning keyed by lockfile hash. It also places Postgres and Redis inspection inside the workspace and identifies the application as a notarized, approximately 20 MB Apple Silicon DMG.
