FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically close a cmux workspace and clean up a git worktree?▼

To clean up a git worktree and close a cmux workspace, you can run the teardown-worktree.sh script with the worktree name and repository. This automates workspace closure, worktree removal, and branch cleanup in one step.

Do I need cmux and crewchief to remove git worktrees automatically?▼

Yes, removing git worktrees automatically requires cmux, crewchief CLI, and the cleanup-worktree.sh script for execution. These dependencies handle the underlying workspace closure and branch cleanup operations.

What is the best way to remove git worktrees after finishing a development ticket?▼

The best way to remove git worktrees after finishing a ticket is to run an automated teardown script. This ensures a clean development environment by handling workspace closure and worktree removal without manual errors.

How does automated worktree teardown keep development environments clean?▼

Automated worktree teardown keeps development environments clean by handling workspace closure, removing the git worktree, and cleaning up associated branches. This leaves your repository in a pristine state after ticket completion.

Can I use a script to teardown multiple git worktrees and cmux workspaces at once?▼

The provided teardown-worktree.sh script targets specific worktrees by name and repository, such as DEVX-1001. It focuses on individual worktree and cmux workspace cleanup rather than batch operations.
