What problem does it solve?
Local Git branches whose remote tracking branches have been deleted clutter repositories and make navigation harder, so this Skill automates their discovery and removal while respecting any associated worktrees.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Detection: The included clean-gone script fetches remote state and parses branch tracking details to list gone branches while skipping the currently checked-out branch.
- Confirmation: Presenting the list prompts for a single yes-or-no decision before taking action, preventing accidental deletions.
- Safe Deletion: Removing linked worktrees, then force-deleting each branch, keeps the repository tidy after merged or abandoned feature branches are gone.
Quick Start
Ask to clean gone branches, confirm removal, and let the Skill handle pruning and deletions.
