description	Clean up both local and remote git branches that have been merged. Use when: (1) User says 'prune branches', 'clean up branches', or 'delete merged branches', (2) User wants to clean both local and remote branches at once, (3) After a round of PR merging when stale branches accumulate.

Git Prune Branches (Both Local and Remote)

Check and prune both local and remote branches that have been merged:

Step 1: Prune Local Branches

1. Get the list of all local branches using git branch
2. For each branch, check if it has been merged using git branch --merged
3. Exclude protected branches (main, master, develop, etc.)
4. Create a list of local branches that are safe to delete

Step 2: Prune Remote Branches

1. Fetch the latest remote information using git fetch --prune
2. Get the list of all remote branches using git branch -r
3. For each remote branch, check if it has been merged into the remote main branch
4. Exclude protected branches
5. Create a list of remote branches that are safe to delete

Step 3: Confirm and Execute

1. Present both lists to the user clearly:

• Local branches to be deleted
• Remote branches to be deleted

2. Ask for confirmation: "The above local and remote branches will be deleted. Proceed? (yes/no)"
3. If user confirms with "yes" or similar affirmative response:

• Delete local branches using git branch -d <branch-name>
• Delete remote branches using git push origin --delete <branch-name>

4. Report the results for both operations

Important: Never delete:
