Cleaning up merged git branches and stale worktrees safely is done by pruning local and remote branches, removing dead remote refs, and switching to a verified-clean main branch with built-in guardrails. The process requires user confirmation for ambiguous items.
Pruning remote tracking refs in a local repository safely means removing dead remote references while skipping branches with open PRs and preventing the deletion of base branches. The system lands you on a clean main branch after pruning.
You need to clean up your local git state before starting new work or after post-merge cycles when the repository feels cluttered. Removing stale worktrees and merged branches ensures you start from a verified-clean base branch without confusion.
Cleaning up local git branches will not delete your base branch or open PRs. The cleanup process implements strict guardrails that skip branches with open PRs, prevent base branch deletion, and require user confirmation for ambiguous items.
Yes, you can remove stale worktrees and dead remote refs at the same time during a single cleanup operation. The process prunes merged branches locally and remotely, clears stale worktrees, and lands on a verified-clean base branch.
Your git repository feels cluttered after merging because stale worktrees, dead remote tracking refs, and merged branches accumulate. Running a targeted cleanup restores a tidy repository state by pruning these remnants and switching to a clean main branch.
