Delete local branches without a remote

This will delete references to branches that don’t exist on the remote:

git remote prune origin

Amusingly, this will not delete all local branches without a remote, because “git”. This script will delete all local branches where the remote is “gone”.

Bash:

git branch -D $(git for-each-ref --format='%(if:equals=[gone])%(upstream:track)%(then)%(refname:short)%(end)' refs/heads)

Fish:

git branch -D (git for-each-ref --format='%(if:equals=[gone])%(upstream:track)%(then)%(refname:short)%(end)' refs/heads)

Between the two, that should get everything.

The status of branches can be seen with:

git branch -v
