a little script for reaping a merged working branch

git-reaper

#!/bin/sh

set -e

# When the current branch has been merged to the origin, update master
# and delete the local branch.

branch=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)

if [ -z "$branch" ]; then
    echo "Could not parse branch" >&2
    exit 1

elif [ "$branch" = "master" ]; then
    echo "Already on master" >&2
    exit 2

else
    echo ":; :; git co master"
    git co master

    echo ":; :; git pull origin master"
    git pull origin master
    
    echo ":; :; git branch -d $branch"
    git branch -d "$branch"
