Here’s how to remove local branches that no longer exist on your Git origin:

To clean up your local repository by deleting branches that have been removed from the remote (origin), you’ll use two main commands:

Fetch with Prune: This command updates your remote-tracking branches and removes any that no longer exist on the remote.

git fetch --prune

Alternatively, you can use the shorthand:

git fetch -p

Delete Local Branches: After pruning, you can see which local branches are tracking a remote branch that no longer exists. To delete these, you’ll need to use a loop or identify them manually. A common approach is:

git branch -vv | grep ': gone]' | awk '{print $1}' | xargs git branch -d

git branch -vv: Lists all local branches, showing their upstream branch and commit status.
grep ': gone]': Filters for branches whose remote tracking branch is gone.
awk '{print $1}': Extracts just the branch name.
xargs git branch -d: Deletes each of those branches.

If you have any branches that haven’t been fully merged and you want to force delete them (use with caution!), change -d to -D:

git branch -vv | grep ': gone]' | awk '{print $1}' | xargs git branch -D

This process ensures your local repository stays clean and synchronized with the remote, avoiding clutter from stale branches.
