Git Prune Branches (Local)

Check and prune local branches that have been merged:

1. Get the list of all local branches using git branch
2. For each branch, check if it has been merged into the main branch using git branch --merged
3. Exclude protected branches (main, master, develop, etc.)
4. Create a list of branches that are safe to delete
5. Present the deletion list to the user clearly
6. Ask for confirmation: "The following local branches will be deleted. Proceed? (yes/no)"
7. If user confirms with "yes" or similar affirmative response, delete the branches using git branch -d <branch-name> for each branch
8. Report the results

Important: Never delete:

• The currently checked out branch
• Protected branches: main, master, develop, development, staging, production
• Branches that are not fully merged (unless explicitly requested)
