dupehound vs worktree-compose

Provides isolated Docker Compose environments for git worktrees, not focused on duplicate detection.

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.
