git-brdi

Interactively delete local git branches, sorted by last-touched date.

git brdi walks through each of your local branches (most recent first, skipping the default branch) and prompts you to delete or skip it.

(1/4) Delete feature-login (last touched 3 days ago) [y,n,q,?]? y
    Deleted branch feature-login (was abc1234).
(2/4) Delete old-experiment (last touched 2 weeks ago) [y,n,q,?]? n
(3/4) Delete wip-refactor (last touched 3 months ago) [y,n,q,?]? q
Quit.

Done. Deleted 1 branch, skipped 1.

Install

cargo install --path .

This installs the git-brdi binary. Because it follows the git-<name> convention, git picks it up as a subcommand:

git brdi

Usage

Run git brdi from any git repository. For each branch you'll be prompted with:

• y - delete the branch (git branch -d)
• n - skip
• q - quit
• ? - print help

If a branch has unmerged changes, git branch -d will fail and you'll be asked whether to force-delete it (git branch -D).
