Deletes all detached branches.
|
|
|
|
- Use `git fetch --all --prune` to garbage collect any detached branches.
|
|
- This is especially useful if the remote repository is set to automatically delete merged branches.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git fetch --all --prune
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git checkout master
|
|
git branch
|
|
# master
|
|
# patch-1
|
|
# patch-2
|
|
|
|
# Assuming `patch-1` is detached
|
|
git fetch --all --prune
|
|
|
|
git branch
|
|
# master
|
|
# patch-2
|
|
```
