prune-git-branches

This script will prune the local branches that you no longer want. You have 2 options when deleting: --remote or --pattern

Remote

This option will delete all your local branches that are no longer tracked on remote.
Run with -f flag to also remove unmerged branches.

Pattern

This option removes all branches except for the specified parameter branch names. If no branches are specified, the script defaults to removing all non-primary branches using main, master, dev and develop as parameters.

Usage

# note: you are free to alias main.sh however you wish
alias prune-git-branches='/path/to/this/repo/main.sh'
prune-git-branches --remote [-f]
prune-git-branches --pattern [branch1 branch2 branch3 ...]
