Prune Worktrees

Batch cleanup of all git worktrees for issues that are closed and branches that are merged.

Usage

$prune-worktree

Steps

Step 1: List All Issue Worktrees

git worktree list | grep "issue-" || echo "No issue worktrees found"

If no issue worktrees found, inform the user and stop.

Step 2: Check Default Branch

DEFAULT_BRANCH=$(git remote show origin | grep 'HEAD branch' | sed 's/.*: //')
git fetch origin "$DEFAULT_BRANCH"

Step 3: Evaluate Each Worktree

For each issue worktree:

1. Extract the issue number from the path:

   ISSUE_NUM=$(echo "$WORKTREE_PATH" | grep -oE 'issue-([0-9]+)' | grep -oE '[0-9]+')
   

2. Check if the issue is closed:

   STATE=$(gh issue view "$ISSUE_NUM" --json state --jq '.state' 2>/dev/null)
   

3. Check if the branch is merged:

   BRANCH=$(cd "$WORKTREE_PATH" && git branch --show-current)
   MERGED=$(git branch -r --merged "origin/$DEFAULT_BRANCH" | grep -q "origin/$BRANCH" && echo "true" || echo "false")
   

4. Classify as:

   • Pruneable: Issue is closed (STATE = CLOSED) AND branch is merged (MERGED = true)
   • Keep: Issue is open OR branch is not merged

Step 4: Report and Confirm

Display a summary:

• Worktrees to prune (with issue number and status)
• Worktrees to keep (with reason)

Ask the user to confirm before removing any worktrees.

Step 5: Remove Pruneable Worktrees

For each confirmed worktree:

git worktree remove "$WORKTREE_PATH"
git branch -D "$BRANCH" 2>/dev/null || true

Step 6: Clean Up Stale Entries

git worktree prune

Report what was removed and what remains.
