tosbourn, 10 days ago to random Quick git tip. If you want to remove any local branches that have since been merged you can run this. git branch --merged | egrep -v "(^\*|dev|main)" | xargs git branch -d I have it as a TextExpander shortcut, but you could also add an alias It looks for any branch that isn't dev or main (add any you always want to keep around) that has been merged in and deletes them. This is helpful if you rely on tab-to-autocomplete a lot #Git #GitTips
