# Clean Branches Clean up unnecessary local branches and prune stale remote-tracking branches. ## Step 1: Inspect Current State Run the following: - `git branch --show-current` - `git branch --format='%(refname:short)'` - `git remote show origin` - `git branch -vv` Identify: - The current branch - The default branch (for example `main` or `master`) - Branches whose upstream has been deleted After identifying the default branch, list branches already merged into it: - `git branch --merged <default-branch>` If you want to use the remote-tracking branch as the source of truth, use: - `git branch --merged origin/<default-branch>` ## Step 2: Refresh Remote State Update remote refs and prune deleted remote branches: ```bash git fetch --prune ``` If needed, also run: ```bash git remote prune origin ``` ## Step 3: Select Branches to Delete Delete only branches that are clearly unnecessary. Safe candidates include: - Local branches already merged into the default branch you identified above - Local branches whose upstream branch is gone and are no longer needed Never delete: - The current branch - The default branch - Branches that are not fully merged unless the user explicitly asks for fo
