Clean up local git branches
July 20, 2018
Branch cleanup is a constant housekeeping item. To make things easier I've been using this script:
It checks to see which branches have been deleted on the remote and lets you delete your local copy. First it creates a list of branches to be removed so you can edit it if you want to keep any of them. I have it aliased in my bash profile as gpl for "git prune local":
alias gpl='sh ~/_myconfig/pruneLocalBranches.sh'
