dupehound vs worktree-compose
Provides isolated Docker Compose environments for git worktrees, not focused on duplicate detection.
dupehoundFinds the code your AI wrote twice (deterministic, offline, open-source)
worktree-composeZero-config Docker Compose isolation for git worktrees. The Hunger Games for your AI coding agents.Side by side
- What it is
- dupehound:dupehound detects duplicate code generated by AI agents, even when renamed, using offline deterministic fingerprinting.
- worktree-compose:Zero-config Docker Compose isolation for each git worktree, giving separate ports, databases, caches and containers.
- Best for
- dupehound:Detecting renamed duplicate code from AI agents
- worktree-compose:Isolated Docker stacks per worktree
- Who it’s for
- dupehound:Developers using AI code generators who need to avoid duplicated logic.
- worktree-compose:Developers using git worktrees and AI coding agents who need isolated Docker environments.

dupehound features
- Structure fingerprinting. Uses tree-sitter and MOSS winnowing to fingerprint function structure so renamed copies still match.
- Offline operation. Runs entirely locally without external services or AI.
- Deterministic results. Provides consistent detection outcomes across runs.
- Scan mode. Analyzes codebases to find duplicate functions.
- History tracking. Keeps a record of previously detected duplicates.
- CI gate integration. Can be added as a gate in continuous-integration pipelines to block duplicate code.
worktree-compose features
- Zero Config. Run `wtc start` and each worktree automatically receives its own isolated Docker Compose stack.
- Port Isolation. Unique ports are assigned per worktree using a deterministic formula, eliminating collisions.
- Container Isolation. Separate COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME, networks and volumes ensure containers don’t interfere.
- File Sync. Compose files, Dockerfiles and .env are synced from the main branch before each start.
- Env Injection. Port overrides are injected into .env without overwriting existing variables.
- MCP Server. Built-in MCP server lets Claude Code, Codex and other AI agents manage stacks programmatically.
