Git-Branch-Sweeper

Node CLI to easily bulk delete local and remote branches based on branch name pattern

For the local repo: All branches, except branches starting with names master and release
For the remote: All branches with names containing your branch pattern**, by default your username, except branches starting with names master and release

** You can configure the branch pattern by providing a .gbsrc file in your HOME directory as follow:

{
  "myBranchPattern": "my-cool-name"
}

Installation

$ npm install --global git-branch-sweeper

This will install the Git-Branch-Sweeper package globally and allow the CLI tool to be run from any location.

From inside a gihub repo run git-branch-sweeper or gbs

To list the branches

$ git fetch --prune
for local branches: git branch -v --merged/--no-merged
for remote branches: git branch -v -r

When you choose to delete a branch

$ git push origin --delete <branch_name>
// for merged:
$ git branch -d <branch_name>
// Or for unmerged:
$ git branch -D <branch_name>

npm run dev

To build the project, in VS Code, run the default build task (which is tsc watch) or run npm run build
