Summary

  • Replace gtr list --porcelain | cut -f2 with git worktree list --porcelain | sed -n 's#^branch refs/heads/##p' in the bash, zsh, and fish gtr cd <TAB> completion handlers
  • gtr list --porcelain checks each worktree's status via O(n) subprocess calls; with 139 worktrees this makes tab completion take 6+ seconds; native git worktree list --porcelain parses once and returns in ~25ms

Notes

  • Detached worktrees no longer appear as completion candidates — they previously showed as the non-completable literal (detached), so this is a minor improvement not a regression
  • The interactive fzf picker (gtr cd with no argument) is unchanged — it still calls gtr list --porcelain since it needs both path and branch fields for display and navigation

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved cd completions in Bash, Zsh, and Fish to provide more reliable Git worktree name suggestions.
    • Worktree completion now reads available worktrees directly from Git for more consistent results.
    • Preserved the option to select the current directory context when completing worktree names.

gtr list --porcelain checks each worktree's status via O(n) subprocess
calls, making cd <TAB> completion take 6+ seconds with many worktrees.
Completion only needs branch names, which git worktree list --porcelain
provides in ~25ms regardless of worktree count.

Applies to bash, zsh, and fish. Detached worktrees are no longer
offered as completion candidates (they appeared as the non-completable
literal "(detached)" before, so this is a minor improvement).

The interactive fzf picker (gtr cd with no argument) is unchanged — it
still calls gtr list --porcelain since it needs both path and branch.

Walkthrough

Bash, Zsh, and Fish gtr cd completions now use native Git worktree data. They retain the 1 candidate and exclude detached worktrees. The interactive fzf picker is unchanged.

Changes

Worktree completion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Native Git candidate generation
lib/commands/init.sh, tests/init.bats
Bash, Zsh, and Fish completion handlers now read git worktree list --porcelain and strip the branch refs/heads/ prefix. Tests verify the generated wrappers use the native Git command. Each handler retains the leading 1 candidate.

The completion change preserves branch-backed worktree candidates and intentionally excludes detached worktrees, with no established merge-blocking risk.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Scope the assertions to each cd completion block. The Bash, Zsh, and Fish tests only assert that the full generated wrapper contains git gtr list --porcelain. That string remains in each shell’s fzf picker, while the cd completion blocks use git worktree list --porcelain. The tests can therefore pass without detecting a regression in any changed block. Assert the native command within each shell’s cd completion section.

The three existing tests matched `git gtr list --porcelain` anywhere in
the output, so they passed even after the cd completion was changed to
use native git — the fzf picker's reload bindings satisfied the pattern.

Replace with assertions that match the exact worktree-assignment line in
each shell's cd completion block, which is distinct from the fzf picker
strings and directly verifies the changed path.
