To clean up git branches safely, you can use a skill that identifies merged and stale branches, provides a preview of targets, and requires confirmation before deletion. This prevents accidental removal of active work.
Yes, remote branch pruning removes remote tracking branches that are no longer active. The skill manages both local and remote branch cleanup based on merge status and commit age.

The best way to identify old local branches for repository maintenance is to detect branches that have not seen commit activity for a configurable number of days, ensuring only stale branches are targeted.
The branch deletion process handles safety previews by generating a list of branches slated for removal and requiring explicit confirmation before executing the actual deletion.
No, it will not delete a branch with an open pull request if GitHub CLI is installed. It optionally checks for open PRs to prevent removing branches with active review processes.
