Merge a completed worktree branch into main, remove the worktree directory, and delete the branch.
Instructions
Step 1: List active worktrees
Run git worktree list and parse the output to find all worktrees except the main one.
If there are no worktrees to clean up, tell the user and stop.
Step 2: Ask user which worktree to clean up
Use the AskUserQuestion tool to present the list of active worktrees as options. Show the branch name and directory path in each option.
Step 3: Confirm merge strategy
Use AskUserQuestion to ask whether to:
- Merge into main — merge the branch into main before cleanup
- Remove only — just remove the worktree and branch without merging (for abandoned work)
Step 4: Execute cleanup
If merging:
# 1. Ensure we're on main and up to date
git checkout main
# 2. Merge the branch
git merge --ff-only <branch-name>
# 3. Remove worktree and delete branch
scripts/remove-worktree.sh <branch-name> --delete-branch
If removing without merge:
# Remove worktree and delete branch
scripts/remove-worktree.sh <branch-name> --delete-branch
Step 5: Report result
Show what was done: merged (if applicable), worktree removed, branch deleted.
