Clean Gone Branches

Remove local git branches that have been deleted from the remote.

Process

  1. Update remote references

    • Run git fetch --prune.

  2. Inspect local state

    • Run git branch -vv to find branches marked as [gone].
    • Run git worktree list to see whether any of those branches still have worktrees.

  3. Remove worktrees first

    • For each [gone] branch that still has a worktree, remove the worktree before deleting the branch.

  4. Delete the gone branches

    • Delete each local branch marked as [gone].

  5. Report the result

    • List removed worktrees and deleted branches.
    • If there are no [gone] branches, report that nothing needed cleanup.
