Delete local branches whose remote tracking branch has been deleted, including any associated worktrees.
Safely identifies and deletes merged and stale Git branches after fetching latest state, filtering by pattern, and user confirmation via interactive prompts. Protects main branches.
Analyzes and safely cleans up local git branches and worktrees, categorizing them as merged, squash-merged, superseded, or active work before deletion.
Safely analyzes and cleans up local git branches/worktrees: categorizes merged/squash-merged/superseded/active, groups related ones, deletes only after user approval.

Delete local branches whose remote tracking branch has been deleted, including any associated worktrees.
Run the discovery script to fetch the latest remote state and identify gone branches:
bash scripts/clean-gone
The script runs git fetch --prune first, then parses git branch -vv for branches marked : gone].
If the script outputs __NONE__, report that no stale branches were found and stop.
Show the user the list of branches that will be deleted. Format as a simple list:
These local branches have been deleted from the remote:
- feature/old-thing
- bugfix/resolved-issue
- experiment/abandoned
Delete all of them? (y/n)
Wait for the user's answer using the platform's question tool (e.g., AskUserQuestion in Claude Code, request_user_input in Codex, ask_user in Gemini). If no question tool is available, present the list and wait for the user's reply before proceeding.
This is a yes-or-no decision on the entire list -- do not offer multi-selection or per-branch choices.
If the user confirms, delete each branch. For each branch:
git worktree list | grep "\\[$branch\\]")git worktree remove --force "$worktree_path"git branch -D "$branch"Report results as you go:
Removed worktree: .worktrees/feature/old-thing
Deleted branch: feature/old-thing
Deleted branch: bugfix/resolved-issue
Deleted branch: experiment/abandoned
Cleaned up 3 branches.
If the user declines, acknowledge and stop without deleting anything.
