Github CLI extension
Safely delete local branches that have no remotes and no hanging changes.
The extension uses git branch -d to delete the local branches, hence it will not delete branches with un-pushed changes.
What is does?
- Fetch the repo.
- Checkout main and pull changes (needed if we want to delete the current branch)
- Lists all local branches
- Lists all remote branches
- Lists branches with missing upstream to be deleted
- Deletes branches with no upstream and no un-pushed changes.
When the extension completes, it stays on main branch of the repo.
Run it inside a git repo folder:
gh clean-branchesThe extension relays on:
- gh CLI 2.0
- zsh
- node.js
I may remove the last two dependencies, they are not really needed (pull requests are welcomed!). It helped me for fast developing it.
gh extension install davidraviv/gh-clean-branches
