Description
I have been pushing up to 90 commits a day on a MacBook Air via 4-5 parallel agents. As you can imagine when all the agents try to build, test and run dev servers on an 8GB machine it is the fast lane to a force quit and restart. I also did not want to pay the CI minutes on 90 pushes a day.So I designed a local merge queue to have all commits land one at a time and fully tested. Hopefully this helps other folks with more modest machines. Appreciate any feedback.

Could you build this?
Yes This is a local Git queue and job runner script (using Node/Python or bash) that serializes git merges and runs build/test commands sequentially to prevent resource contention.
Discussion
20 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: jj (Jujutsu) - alternative VCS with better workspace handling, Radicle - distributed git alternative with merge queue support, Gensee - workspace fork and merge solution, Multiple git clones with hardlinks instead of worktrees
Concerns raised: Git worktrees are unreliable - removing parent repo breaks dependent worktrees, 90 commits/day workflow lacks code review - unsustainable for teams, Large PRs with many commits difficult for team review and approval, PR history becomes messy and hard to review with high commit velocity, Not suitable for team environments or multi-human workflows
Feature requests: Better IDE integration for preventing agents from committing intermediate changes, Tooling to distinguish and manage main repo vs swarm of checkouts, Communication channel for agents to coordinate and prevent messy merges, Support for jj stacked changes workflow with standard code review systems
