WM uses a .wm.yaml file in your project root:

worktree:
  base_dir: "../wm_{repo}"  # {repo} is replaced with repo name

sync:
  - ".env"                              # Copy .env to worktree
  - "apps/*/.env"                       # Glob patterns supported
  - src: ".env.example"
    dst: ".env"
    mode: copy                          # or "symlink"
    when: missing                       # or "always"

tasks:
  post_install:
    mode: background                    # Run async
    commands:
      - "pnpm install"
