Clean up local git branches and remotes accumulated from PR reviews. Use when the user asks to clean branches, remove stale remotes, or tidy up the local git state.
# Git Cleanup Clean local branches (except `main` and current branch) and non-origin remotes. Useful after reviewing multiple PRs that leave behind tracking branches and contributor remotes. ## Workflow ### 1. Survey Run these in parallel: ```bash git branch git remote git status --short git stash list ``` Present a summary of how many branches and remotes will be removed. ### 2. Safety Checks — Ask Before Proceeding **Stop and ask for confirmation if any of these are true:** - Current branch is NOT `main` - Working tree has uncommitted changes or stashes - Any branch is ahead of its upstream List unmerged branches separately and let the user decide. ### 3. Delete Branches ```bash # Safe delete first (fails on unmerged branches) git branch | grep -v '^\*' | grep -v '^\s*main$' | xargs git branch -d 2>&1 # Force-delete only with explicit user approval git branch -D <branch> ``` ### 4. Remove Remotes ```bash git remote | grep -v '^origin$' | xargs -I{} git remote remove {} ``` ### 5. Confirm ```bash git branch && echo "---" && git remote ``` Report what was cleaned up. ## Key Rules - **NEVER** delete `main` or the current checked-out branch - **NEVER** force-delete unmerged branches without user confirmation - If in doubt, ask
