Delete git branches in batches

  • 60k

šŸ¤” Delete git branches in batches

npm npm version NPM

In daily development, we create a git branch function every time we make a requirement. Over time, many local and online branches will be accumulated. Then it is particularly important to have a tool to delete git branches in batches at this time. GBKILL is a tool created to solve this need, allowing you to delete git branches more efficiently

Image description

This tool will list the git branches in the projects, and then you can select in batches the git branches that need to be deleted.

šŸ¤” Install

Actually you don't need to install it to use it! Just use the following command: 

$ npx gbkill
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Or you can install it: 

$ npm i -g gbkill
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

šŸ•ļø Usage

Enter gbkill in your terminal** (currently not compatible with Git in Windows terminal)**. gbkill will execute the git command to scan the git branches under your current project s and display them in the lists

Key Description
Space Press the spacebar to execute the merged branch deletion (recommendation: to prevent accidental deletion)
Tab Press the Tab to execute `merged
RightArrow Press {% raw %}-> to execute `Open
ā†“ Press {% raw %}ā†“ to select branch
ā†‘ Press ā†‘ to select branch

Hint

  1. The merge listed on the gbkill interface displays yes or No which is judged by git branch --merged <name>. You can specify the merged branch name by executing gbkill --merged <name>

  2. When the merge status in gbkill is yes, but NO_FORCE...fully merged appears when you delete the branch. Reason: The code of this branch is not merged into the currently focused branch. Requires forced deletion

  3. When executing gbkill --sync, the remote branch of the target branch will be deleted first and then the local branch

šŸ–ļø Parameter

Configurable parameters of gbkill. Some configuration parameters will be cached and shared globally in the /user home directory/.gbkill file.

Argument Description Cache
–force Forcibly delete a branch, equivalent to git branch -D <name> (Caution: local commit changes will be deleted) No
–sync Whether to delete remote branches synchronously No
–merged <name> Specify the branch name used to determine whether a branch has been merged (git branch –merged <name>) Yes
–lock <names..> Locked some branches will be hidden in the list, and the data will be accumulated instead of replaced (Prevent accidental deletion, protect some branches) Yes
–unlock <names..> Unlock a branch locked by --lock Yes

šŸļø State of Git branch

Description corresponds to branch status.

Status Description Color
NONE The branch is in a normal state
DELETING Branch is being deleted šŸŒ
DELETED Branch deleted šŸŸ¢
FAILED Fail to delete branch šŸ”“
NO_MERGED The branch was not merged into name branch (--merged <name>) šŸŸ£
NO_FORCE This branch needs to be forcibly deleted git branch -D name(--force) šŸŸ”
NO_SYNC Fail to delete remote branches synchronously šŸŸ 

šŸžļø Known issues

āš ļø Git for Windows Terminal is currently not supported, and the tool is limited to ink. We will look for alternatives later. Please use CMD, Vscode terminal's Git... terminal
