Clean up local branches whose remote tracking branch is gone
by everyincFree
Description
ce-clean-gone-branches deletes local git branches whose remote tracking branch has been removed, along with any worktrees attached to them. It is for tidying a repository after pull requests are merged and their remote branches deleted. The skill's discovery step runs a script that fetches the latest remote state with a prune, then lists the branches git marks as gone. If there are none, it reports that and stops. Before it removes anything, it shows you the branches it found, so the deletion is a deliberate step rather than a surprise. It is triggered by requests such as clean up branches, delete gone branches or prune local branches. The skill is part of the compound-engineering plugin by Every and is listed on skills.sh as free.…
