Features

Supports deletion of both local and remote branches
Detects certain forms of de-facto merges (certain no-squash rebase merges as well as certain single or range cherry-picks, as recognized by git cherry)
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

When the repository is a fork (with an upstream remote and a fork remote):

Make sure that release branches are tracking the right remote, e.g. master should probably track original upstream's master rather than master of your fork.
Consider keeping your fork's remote master up to date (using git push).
