b2 [BranchBuster]

b2 [BranchBuster] is a simple bash tool to remove git gone branches from your local repository.

Features

• Find Gone Branches: Identifies branches that have been removed from the remote repository but still exist locally.
• Delete Gone Branches: Provides an interactive prompt to delete the identified gone branches.
• Version Display: Shows the current version of the script.

Installation

To use b2, simply clone the repo and use the Makefile to install the script.:

make install

If you want to uninstall the script, just run:

make uninstall

You can upgrade the script to the latest version by running:

make upgrade

This basically fetches the latest changes from the remote repository and replaces the script with the latest version.

Usage

To use b2, simply run the script in your git repository:

b2

This will show you the branches that have been removed from the remote repository but still exist locally. You can then choose to delete these branches.

--force flag can be used to delete all the gone branches without any prompt:

b2 --force
