#### Delete all remote git branches | |
# Primary purpose: When you fork a repo and want a clean slate for your fork. | |
#### WARNING | |
# This is REALLY UNSAFE. Don't do this on a shared repo! | |
# Again: DO NOT DO THIS unless you're really, really sure. | |
git branch -r | grep -e "origin" | grep -v "origin/main" | awk '{sub(/origin\//,"");print}'| sed 's/^[ *]*//' | sed 's/^/git push origin :/' | bash | |
### BONUS: Delete all remote tags | |
# Same warning applies! | |
# Deletes 1000 at a time | |
git push origin --delete $(git ls-remote --tags origin | grep -v "{}$" | awk '{sub(/.+refs\/tags\//,"");print}' | head -n 1000) | |
# Delete all local tags: | |
git tag -l | xargs git tag -d |
