Got a lot of old git branches hanging around? Here’s a little script that will delete the branches that have been marged.
It’ll print out the branches to be deleted, and then prompt for whether you want to delete them.
If your top-level branch isn’t called “main”, customize the MAIN
variable to match.
Script: Delete old git branches
#!/bin/bash
# Change this to match the name of your top level branch
MAIN=main
echo "These branches have been merged into $MAIN and will be deleted:"
echo
git branch --merged $MAIN | grep -v "^\* $MAIN"
echo
read -p "Continue? [y/N] " -n 1 -r
echo
if [[ ! $REPLY =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]
then
exit 1
fi
git branch --merged $MAIN | grep -v "^\* $MAIN" | xargs -n 1 -r git branch -dCopy/paste this into a file in your repo or elsewhere (like
git-cleanup.sh) and make it executable with chmod +x git-cleanup.sh
Bonus: if you want this file to be ignored, but you don’t want to
clutter up the shared .gitignore file with your own local scripts, you
can edit .git/info/exclude and list this file there. That file works
as a local gitignore.
