Delete Merged Branches with git
It's common courtesy to keep your git branch list clean, especially when colleagues need to fetch your remote branches. I'm a bit of a ... offender, when it comes to maintaining my git branch list. My colleague John Karahalis is not, however, and he hooked me up with an awesome git alias for deleting branches that have been merged into master. Place the following within your .git/config file:
[alias]
delete-merged-branches = "!f() { git checkout --quiet master && git branch --merged | grep --invert-match '\\*' | xargs -n 1 git branch --delete; git checkout --quiet @{-1}; }; f"
You can run this command via:
git delete-merged-branches
The script worked masterfully -- all branches merged into master were gone and I was left to evaluate which local branches were left to send pull requests for. Beautiful. Keep this around if you're a lazy git-ter like me!

Create said design, using Lorem Ipsum text
Send initial design concept to the client...

One of the reasons I love the Dojo Toolkit is that it seems to have everything. No scouring for a plugin from this site and then another plugin from that site to build my application. Buried within the expansive dojox namespace of Dojo is
Nice tip – thanks
Thanks, very handy. Also found this https://gist.github.com/malclocke/943565 to do the same for all merged remote branches.
Also note that you can prune remote-tracking references (e.g., remotes/foo/patch-1) with either
fetch --prune fooorremote prune foo.
