- Description
- ======================
- Find and delete old git branches that are no longer needed.
- Usage
- ======================
- Clone the repo and add to your path (just for ease of use):
- git clone git://gist.github.com/2891516.git gist-2891516
- cd gist-2891516
- export PATH="$PATH:$(pwd)"
- Now go to your project.
- # list branches that have been merged to the current branch
- git old-branches
- # list branches that have been merged to the remote:
- git old-branches github/master
- # format branch delete commands according to user:
- git old-branches github/master | format_branch_deletes
- Example output:
- $ git old-branches | format_branch_deletes
- # schiang@comverge.com
- git branch -d remove_new_relic # 301a52b (5 hours ago) <schiang@comverge.com>
- git branch -d something # 301a52b (5 hours ago) <schiang@comverge.com>
- $ git old-branches github/master | format_branch_deletes
- # schiang@comverge.com
- git push github :30434977_fix_the_clock # a262408 (3 weeks ago) <schiang@comverge.com>
- git push github :add_non_existant_methods # f47c5c9 (10 days ago) <schiang@comverge.com>
- git push github :manual_requires # c9bcc3f (3 weeks ago) <schiang@comverge.com>
- git push github :unnecessary_fsr # 54f4eb4 (9 days ago) <schiang@comverge.com>
- The idea is that you can check the delete commands and execute as needed. Note
- that once the remote branches are deleted your teammates may have to prune the
- deleted branches from their local copies:
- # use --dry-run option first as a precaution
- git remote prune github
