Features
- Supports deletion of both local and remote branches
- Detects multiple forms of de-facto merges
(rebase merges,
squash merges (needs
--effort=3), single or range cherry-picks… leveraginggit cherry) - Supports workflows with multiple release branches, e.g. only delete branches that have been merged to all of
master,devandstaging - Quick interactive configuration
- Provider agnostic: Works with GitHub, GitLab, Gitea 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 pushis used with--force-with-leaseso if the server and you have a different understanding of that branch, it is not deleted.- There is no use of
os.systemor shell code to go wrong. - With
--dry-runyou can get a feel for the changes thatgit-delete-merged-brancheswould 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.
mastershould probably track original upstream'smasterrather thanmasterof your fork. - Consider keeping your fork's remote
masterup to date (usinggit push).
When using GitHub:
- You can make GitHub
delete branches of merged pull requests
for you, to save
git-delete-merged-branchessome work on the remote side, if you like.
