I find myself searching for this git one-liner a lot, so I figured I'd drop it here to help future searchers:
git branch | grep -v "master" | xargs git branch -D
Happy coding β€οΈ

Or better, delete everything merged into master, leaving out branches that can contain work in progress
I was waiting for instructions to
rm -frthe project and git clone it again π this is much better!rm -rf is such a danger. I heard about how dangerous it is, but was oblivious to its power until I deleted a valuable folder!
And on Windows? π’
PowerShell in Windows has slightly different syntax, but you can achieve the same result with the line below :)
Thanks, I should definitely look into Powershell a bit more (first time on a contract for a client with a Windows stack)
I mean, this is cool and all, but PS syntax is too explicit imo
Use Linux subsystem π
Blocked by the corporate proxy π’π€
Why though, shouldn't all developers have local admin on workstations?
Or at the very least, shouldn't you be able to request a change in these policies for work-related purposes?
currently downloading using the Microsoft store is blocked by the corporate proxy, but maybe there are other ways to get the Linux Subsystem up and running?
Set up a forwarder when at home; use it from the office. :)
Git-scm?
The feeling you've after the command finishes execution
PS: Don't forget to run
git checkout masterWow that was perfect as I was deleting about multiple local branches manually!
Left with two and tried that one above and worked fabulously!
Just make sure to back up everything first :P
Oh man if I forgot to back up first...that would ruin so many things for me. We have a tendency to re-prioritize things so some branches are left half done for awhile, sometimes many months.
A handy one indeed @ben . I went one step further and created an alias "git repo cleanup" in my ~/.bash_rc . Keeping a clean local is super helpful when projects get large and dozens of devs have you reviewing / checking / assisting daily.
This is awesome!!!
I was just looking for something like this, thanks!
Here's one if you want to keep both
masteranddevelop:π
Is there any way to merge everything in master before deleting?
It's generally not a good idea. If you finished working on a feature branch, merge it. If a branch isn't merged, it contains work in progress. Work in progress means something isn't working there. Also mass merging often leads to lots of conflicts.
Oh thanks
