Automated post-merge branch cleanup fetches remote refs with pruning, fast-forwards your base branch, and safely deletes the merged branch. This prevents stale local branches from accumulating after pull requests are integrated into the main codebase.
Safe git branch cleanup involves dry-run mode and branch protection rules to prevent deleting unmerged work. It detects your remote and base branch automatically, ensuring critical branches remain untouched while removing only fully merged refs.
You can configure per-repo defaults using git config cleanup.* settings. This allows you to define repository-specific rules for remote detection, base branch updates, and branch deletion behaviors without passing arguments every time.
Branch protection rules prevent the deletion of critical or unmerged branches during cleanup. A --force option exists to delete branches that are not fully merged, overriding the default safety checks when you are certain of the action.
Remote fetch with pruning updates your local view of remote branches by removing references to branches that no longer exist on the server. This ensures your local repository stays synchronized with the remote before switching and fast-forwarding the base branch.
No, the cleanup workflow automatically switches to the detected base branch before deletion. It then fast-forwards the base to match the remote state and safely removes the previously current branch without requiring manual git checkout commands.
