clean-branch

To clean up merged git branches safely, use the dry-run mode to generate a report of categorized deletable branches, requiring explicit confirmation before executing any local or remote deletions.

Finding and deleting stale git branches involves flagging inactive branches over a configurable period, categorizing them, and pruning remote tracking references only after user confirmation during the cleanup process.

Yes, you can see what branches will be deleted before removing them by running a dry-run report that categorizes branches into deletable, stale, protected, and active without making any actual changes.

Git branch cleanup handles both local and remote tracking branches by identifying merged references, pruning remote tracking branches, and providing recovery notes after executing confirmed repository deletions.

The best way to manage git repository maintenance and branch clutter is automated branch categorization, distinguishing active and protected branches from merged or stale ones to ensure safe repository cleanup.

You should avoid using automated git branch cleanup without reviewing the dry-run report if you have unmerged changes, as the tool categorizes branches into protected and active states to prevent data loss.
