Delete branch by pattern
Raw
delete-branches.md

To delete many branches based on a specified pattern do the following:

  • Open the terminal, or equivalent.
  • Type in git branch | grep "<pattern>" for a preview of the branches that will be deleted.
  • Type in git branch | grep "<pattern>" | xargs git branch -D

Replace the with a regular expression to match your branch names and that’s it.
