cleanup

To clean up Git worktrees after merging, you can automate the removal of merged worktrees and prune stale remote refs to keep the repository tidy. This process also includes deleting associated branches safely after verification.

The best way to prune stale Git remote references and manage multiple worktrees is through automated orchestration that removes merged worktrees, prunes remotes, and rebases active worktrees onto main to maintain repository hygiene.

You rebase active Git worktrees onto the main branch by running an automated cleanup workflow that targets active worktrees, applying the rebase to maintain a linear history and reduce conflicts when switching development contexts.

You can remove squash-merged Git branches safely by using a cleanup process that supports force removal specifically for squash-merged branches. It performs merge checks and requires confirmation before deleting branches to prevent data loss.

Git repositories become cluttered when frequently switching worktree contexts because stale remote refs and merged worktrees accumulate. Automating worktree removal, branch deletion, and remote pruning solves this by maintaining repository efficiency.
