/worktree-delete

Delete Git Worktrees

Deletes specified worktrees, closes associated iTerm tabs, and cleans up branches.

Usage: /dots-dev:worktree-delete <name1> [name2] [...]

Context

• Existing worktrees: !git worktree list
• Registry: !cat ~/.claude/worktree-registry.json 2>/dev/null || echo "{}"

Your task

Delete the worktree(s) specified in the user's command arguments.

If no names provided, show available worktrees and usage info instead.

For each worktree name provided:

1. Find the worktree path: Look for it in git worktree list output.

2. Get the branch name: Extract from the worktree list or use git -C <path> branch --show-current.

3. Close iTerm tab if registered: Check registry for a tab_id, then close it (may fail if already closed):

   osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to close (first tab of first window whose id is <tab_id>)' 2>/dev/null
   

4. Remove the git worktree: git worktree remove <path> --force

5. Delete the branch: git branch -D <branch-name>

6. Remove from registry:

   jq --arg path "<worktree-path>" 'del(.[$path])' ~/.claude/worktree-registry.json > ~/.claude/worktree-registry.json.tmp && mv ~/.claude/worktree-registry.json.tmp ~/.claude/worktree-registry.json
   

7. Show remaining worktrees: Display git worktree list.
