Wt Remove
Remove a git worktree checkout, delete its branch, and close the herdr workspace or tmux window showing it. Resolves the target from a branch name, directory slug, absolute path, or the worktree you are standing in. Use whenever the user wants a worktree gone: "wt remove", "delete this worktree", "close and remove that herdr worktree workspace", "tear down the branch I spun out". This is the only…

Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

Remove Worktree
wt remove $ARGUMENTSDisplay the output. Done.
What the script guarantees
Removal is destructive, so the ordering and the refusals matter more than the command itself:
- Target resolution accepts a branch (
feat/foo), a directory slug
(feat-foo), an absolute path, or nothing at all when the shell is already inside the worktree. Pass through whatever the user gave you.
- Refuses to remove a worktree from inside it and tells the user where to
cd. Don't work around this by cd-ing elsewhere yourself unless the user asked for the removal to happen regardless.
--forcegates losing work, not the removal: uncommitted changes or
commits not yet on the default branch stop the run and print what would be lost. Relay that to the user and let them decide. Do not add --force yourself to get past a warning they haven't seen.
- Closes the surface before removing the checkout. Git refuses to remove a
worktree that a live shell still has as its cwd, and closing the herdr workspace or tmux window kills those shells. This is why removal works on both surfaces with one code path.
- Then
git worktree remove,worktree prune,branch -D, and the now-empty
~/_wt// bucket is cleaned up.
- Drops the worktree's mise trust entry.
wt newtrusts the checkout's
mise.toml, and the trust store keys on the absolute path, so a leftover entry would silently pre-trust a future worktree that reuses the slug.
Remove vs clear
wt remove deletes a checkout and its branch. wt clear (see wt-clear) only closes windows for finished PRs and leaves everything on disk. When the user says "clean up", check which one they mean. The wrong guess is unrecoverable in one direction and harmless in the other.
