Delimb

This adds a command so you can run git delimb and it will remove local branches that have been merged in and are no longer of use. Often this is more efficient than running git fetch --prune. It also protects master and dev branches.

Open your global git config

git config -e --global

Add delimb alias

Note: This will check against the current branch you're on.

[alias]
	delimb = "!git branch --merged | grep  -v '\\*\\|master\\|develop' | xargs -n 1 git branch -d"
