git: Delete All Branches but Master
Maintenance is incredibly important in any project, but if you want to take your professionalism to the next level, you should keep your git environment in shape. Unfortunately I'm not that guy -- I leave git branches laying around, even after they've been merged into master. GitHub even provides a button to do the cleanup but I can't be bothered. Not good.
When you're ready to do some real cleanup on a repository, throw this at it:
git branch | grep -v "master" | sed 's/^[ *]*//' | sed 's/^/git branch -d /' | bash
The shell command above deletes every branch in your local checkout except for master branch. This is a dangerous script but you could always check out a given branch from a remote like GitHub if you happen to need it!
![Create Namespaced Classes with MooTools]()
MooTools has always gotten a bit of grief for not inherently using and standardizing namespaced-based JavaScript classes like the Dojo Toolkit does. Many developers create their classes as globals which is generally frowned up. I mostly disagree with that stance, but each to their own. In any event...
![CSS Animations Between Media Queries]()
CSS animations are right up there with sliced bread. CSS animations are efficient because they can be hardware accelerated, they require no JavaScript overhead, and they are composed of very little CSS code. Quite often we add CSS transforms to elements via CSS during...
![Face Detection with jQuery]()
I've always been intrigued by recognition software because I cannot imagine the logic that goes into all of the algorithms. Whether it's voice, face, or other types of detection, people look and sound so different, pictures are shot differently, and from different angles, I...
![iPhone-Style Passwords Using MooTools PassShark]()
Every once in a while I come across a plugin that blows me out of the water and the most recent culprit is PassShark: a MooTools plugin that duplicates the iPhone's method of showing/hiding the last character in a password field. This gem of...
The script becomes less dangerous, when it uses the
variant instead of the upper case
-D. Then branches are only deleted, when they are already merged in any of the remaining branches, and no work is lost. (Also, the error messages show you, which branches have work, that has not yet landed in master.)Updated my post! Thank you!
git remote prune origin -)
Thank you, this worked well for me. I first tried it with
-d, which deleted some, and then decided to go for-D, which did end up deleting everything butmaster.
