To clean up git worktrees and stale branches after a work session, you can automate the detection and pruning of unused directories. This process safely merges completed work into the main branch or removes orphaned branches to restore a clean repository state.

Automating repo maintenance for multi-agent workflows involves using scripts that detect inactive tasks and safely remove leftover worktrees. This ensures the environment remains tidy and prevents disk clutter from accumulated orphaned directories.

Automated branch cleanup requires proper main branch alignment to prevent data loss. The process relies on safe merge and removal rules to ensure completed work is preserved correctly before any stale branches are deleted.

Safely removing orphaned directories and worktrees requires applying safe merge rules before deletion. This ensures any completed work is properly merged into the main branch, preventing the loss of active or uncommitted session changes.

You should avoid running automated worktree cleanup when tasks are still active or jobs are in flight. Running the process during active sessions risks deleting worktrees and branches that are still needed for ongoing development.
