Remove Worktree

Interactively select and safely remove a single git worktree.

Usage

$remove-worktree

Steps

Step 1: List Worktrees

git worktree list

Filter for issue worktrees (matching *-issue-* pattern). If none found, inform the user and stop.

Step 2: Select Worktree

If multiple worktrees exist, list them and ask the user which one to remove.

Step 3: Safety Checks

For the selected worktree, check:

Issue status: Is the linked issue closed?

ISSUE_NUM=$(echo "$WORKTREE_PATH" | grep -oE 'issue-([0-9]+)' | grep -oE '[0-9]+')
gh issue view "$ISSUE_NUM" --json state --jq '.state'

Merge status: Is the branch merged into the default branch?

DEFAULT_BRANCH=$(git remote show origin | grep 'HEAD branch' | sed 's/.*: //')
BRANCH_NAME=$(cd "$WORKTREE_PATH" && git branch --show-current)
git branch --merged "$DEFAULT_BRANCH" | grep -q "$BRANCH_NAME"

Uncommitted changes: Are there any pending changes?
```
cd "$WORKTREE_PATH" && git status --porcelain
```

Step 4: Confirm and Remove

Safe removal (issue closed + branch merged + no uncommitted changes):

Ask: "Remove worktree at $WORKTREE_PATH? (issue closed, branch merged)"

git worktree remove "$WORKTREE_PATH"

Unsafe removal (issue open, branch unmerged, or uncommitted changes):

Warn the user about the risks and ask for explicit confirmation:

git worktree remove --force "$WORKTREE_PATH"

Step 5: Optional Branch Cleanup

Ask: "Also delete the branch $BRANCH_NAME?"

git branch -D "$BRANCH_NAME" 2>/dev/null || true
git push origin --delete "$BRANCH_NAME" 2>/dev/null || true
