After PRs merge on GitHub, local clones often accumulate stale feature branches that clutter development workflows. This skill automatically prunes remotes, switches to the main branch, pulls updates, and deletes local branches whose upstream has been deleted or whose PR has merged, while refusing to modify a dirty working tree.
Run cleanup-merged after merging a PR to prune stale branches and update your local main branch.

Git branch cleanup removes stale local branches after PR merges by pruning remotes, switching to the main branch, pulling latest changes, and deleting merged or upstream-gone branches. This keeps local clones in sync with the remote repository without manual branch deletion.
Safe git branch cleanup avoids data loss by refusing to modify a dirty working tree and skipping branches with unpushed commits. It only deletes local branches whose upstream has been deleted on the remote or whose PR has already been fully merged.
To prune stale local branches in a GitHub-based team workflow, run a cleanup operation that fetches and prunes origin to remove deleted remote refs. It then deletes local feature branches whose upstream tracking is gone, keeping team clones aligned after PR merges.
Automated branch cleanup respects worktree state by checking the working tree before modifying anything. It bails on dirty working trees to prevent data loss, but successfully deletes merged or upstream-gone branches in clean worktree environments across personal or team repositories.
Local branch cleanup refuses to delete branches in a dirty working tree as a safety mechanism to prevent losing uncommitted changes. It ensures data integrity by aborting the cleanup process until all local modifications are committed or stashed before attempting branch deletion.
