+- Use the pipe operator (`|`) to pipe the output and `grep -v "(^\*|<branch>)"` to exclude the current and the target `<branch>`.
+- Use the pipe operator (`|`) to pipe the output and `xargs git branch -d` to delete all of the found branches.

+git branch --merged <branch> | grep -v "(^\*|<branch>)" | xargs git branch -d

+git checkout master
+git branch
+# master
+# patch-1
+# patch-2

+# Assuming `patch-1` is merged into master
+git branch --merged master | grep -v "(^\*|master)" | xargs git branch -d
