branch-cleaner

Simple RubyGem that will delete all fully merged branches.

Disclaimer: Use at your own risk. If you use this and it deletes a branch you don't want deleted, that's on you.

You can install via RubyGems.org

gem install branch_cleaner

Or install with a Gemfile:

gem 'branch_cleaner', '~> 0.1.0'

Clone the repo. Then cd in to the root directory of the repository and run

gem build branch_cleaner.gemspec

gem install ./branch_cleaner-0.1.0.gem

And that's it! If you want to run the tests, just run rake.

You can also install from source with a Gemfile:

gem "branch-cleaner", :git => "git://github.com/mwflickner/branch-cleaner.git"

Once the gem is installed, usages is simple, just type the command cleanbranches in the Git repository of your choice and the gem will clean your branches.

Want to have some branches omitted from the cleaning? Simply just create a file called .branches_to_keep in your repository's root directory and put the names of the branches you want omitted from the cleaning. Example file here
