The year is almost over and the holidays are approaching, what a good time to say goodbye to your old stale branches. I know letting go of something is always hard, but don't sweat it. I'll teach you how to keep the things you need and remove purge the rest.
Step 1
Get a list of my local branches
git branch >> git_branches.txt
Step 2
In the editor mark the branches that you want to keep
123-branch-to-remove
* master
* dev
* keep-branch
Step 3
Run the command bellow to verify the branches you want gone
cat git_branches.txt | grep "^[^\*].*"
Step 4
If they are all good then run the same command and feed it into git branch -D
cat git_branches.txt | grep "^[^\*].*" | xargs git branch -D
Step 5
Enjoy the holidays, show this to your colleagues and be nice!
