post-merge-rename
Scans for merged branches that haven't been renamed and appends --merged-YYYY-MM-DD to preserve history. We never delete branches. We rename them.
When to Use This Skill
Use post-merge-rename for:
- After merging PRs, to rename the source branch
- Cleaning up branches that were merged but not renamed
- Runs automatically as step 10 of
wip-release
Do NOT Use For
- Unmerged branches
- Branches you're currently working on
API Reference
CLI
bash scripts/post-merge-rename.sh
bash scripts/post-merge-rename.sh --dry-run
bash scripts/post-merge-rename.sh <branch>
What It Does
- Lists all local branches merged into main
- Skips branches already renamed (containing
--merged-)
- Finds the merge date from git history
- Renames:
feature-branch -> feature-branch--merged-2026-03-09
- Pushes the renamed branch to origin
- Deletes the old branch name from origin
