Discard (Sandbox)

← All terms · Orbit-internal concepts

The action that throws away an entire sandbox session — all worktrees, branches, and committed work disappear. Requires confirmation.

What it is

Discard tears down every worktree, sub-branch, and `.orbit-sandbox` directory belonging to the session. Useful when an experiment didn't pan out and you want to abandon it cleanly without contaminating your real branch history.

When you would use it

You Discard a sandbox session whenever the experimental work didn't produce useful results — far cleaner than trying to revert in your main branch.

Common operations

  • Abandoning a failed experiment
  • Cleaning up after Coordinator Mode that didn't work
