Deletes all local merged branches.
- Use `git branch --merged <branch>` to list all branches merged into `<branch>`.
- 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.
```shell
git branch --merged <branch> | grep -v "(^\*|<branch>)" | xargs git branch -d
```
```shell
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
git branch
# master
# patch-2
```
