/maintain

Context

Current branch: !git branch --show-current
Git status: !git status --short
Local branches: !git branch -vv
Stash list: !git stash list
Repository size: !du -sh .git

Parameters

Parse these parameters from the command (all optional):

--prune: Remove unreachable objects and optimize repository
--gc: Run git garbage collection (aggressive)
--verify: Verify integrity of git objects
--branches: Clean up merged branches only
--stash: Clean up stashes only
--all: Run all maintenance tasks (default if no flags specified)

Your task

Perform repository maintenance and cleanup based on the flags provided.

Step 1: Check for accidentally committed files

Environment files, IDE files, dependencies, build artifacts, secrets
Suggest adding to .gitignore and removing with git rm --cached

Step 2: Update .gitignore

Suggest common patterns if missing
Offer to append missing patterns

Step 3: Delete merged branches (if --branches or --all)

List and clean branches merged via GitHub PR
Protect main, master, develop, staging, production
Delete local branches safely with git branch -d
Require user confirmation before deleting branches

Step 4: Clean up redundant stashes (if --stash or --all)

Show stash ages and context
Suggest cleanup for old stashes (>30 days)
Drop stashes from deleted branches
Require user confirmation before dropping stashes

Step 5: Repository optimization (if --prune, --gc, or --all)

# Prune unreachable objects
git prune

# Run garbage collection
git gc --aggressive

# Repack objects
git repack -ad

# Show size improvement
du -sh .git

Step 6: Verify repository integrity (if --verify or --all)

git fsck --full --strict

Report any issues found.

Step 7: Final summary

Report all actions taken
Show before/after metrics

Safe Operations

These operations are safe and non-destructive:

git gc - Garbage collection
git prune - Prune unreachable objects
git fsck - Verify integrity

These require user confirmation:

git branch -d - Delete branches
git stash drop - Drop stashes
