# git-tidy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Have you ever come back to a git repo after a while, started developing, and
|
||
|
|
then realised you weren't on the main branch, or your branch was missing the
|
||
|
|
latest changes, so you ended up with merge conflicts?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or have you ever finished working on a feature, completed a pull-request online,
|
||
|
|
and wanted an easy way to clean up your local repo from all the unused
|
||
|
|
references that have accumulated themselves?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then `git-tidy` is for you!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a simple Python script which you can install by copying (or symlinking)
|
||
|
|
anywhere on your path (I recommend ~/bin/, but something like /usr/local/bin/
|
||
|
|
would also work).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Entering
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
git tidy
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
at the terminal will:
|
||
|
|
- Check out the default branch, usually `main`
|
||
|
|
- if this is not configured, it will try to figure out what it should be,
|
||
|
|
- Pull to make sure that you're up-to-date with the default branch,
|
||
|
|
- Delete all branches that have already been merged into the default, and,
|
||
|
|
- Delete all references which have been removed from the remote as well,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
leaving you with a pristine, tidy repository in order to continue your
|
||
|
|
development.
