Features

  • Supports deletion of both local and remote branches
  • Supports workflows with multiple release branches, e.g. only delete branches that have been merged to all of master, dev and staging
  • Quick interactive configuration
  • Provider agnostic: Works with GitHub, GitLab and any other Git hosting
  • Takes safety seriously

Safety

Deletion is a sharp knife that requires care. While git reflog would have your back in most cases, git-delete-merged-branches takes safety seriously.

Here's what git-delete-merged-branches does for your safety:

  • No branches are deleted without confirmation or passing --yes.
  • Confirmation defaults to "no"; plain [Enter]/[Return] does not delete.
  • git push is used with --force-with-lease so if the server and you have a different understanding of that branch, it is not deleted.
  • There is no use of os.system or shell code to go wrong.
  • With --dry-run you can get a feel for the changes that git-delete-merged-branches would be making to your branches.
  • Show any Git commands run using --verbose.

Best Practices

  • Consider running git remote update --prune before using git-delete-merged-branches for best results.
  • When the repository is a fork:
    • consider keeping your local master up to date (by making it a tracking branch or by using git pull).
    • consider keeping your fork's remote master up to date (using git push).
