Is there a simple way to delete all tracking branches whose remote equivalent no longer exists?
Example:
Branches (local and remote)
- master
- origin/master
- origin/bug-fix-a
- origin/bug-fix-b
- origin/bug-fix-c
Locally, I only have a master branch. Now I need to work on bug-fix-a, so I check it out, work on it, and push changes to the remote. Next I do the same with bug-fix-b.
Branches (local and remote)
- master
- bug-fix-a
- bug-fix-b
- origin/master
- origin/bug-fix-a
- origin/bug-fix-b
- origin/bug-fix-c
Now I have local branches master, bug-fix-a, bug-fix-b. The Master branch maintainer will merge my changes into master and delete all branches he has already merged.
So the current state is now:
Branches (local and remote)
- master
- bug-fix-a
- bug-fix-b
- origin/master
- origin/bug-fix-c
Now I would like to call some command to delete branches (in this case bug-fix-a, bug-fix-b), which are no longer represented in the remote repository.
It would be something like the existing command git remote prune origin, but more like git local prune origin.
