Bulk Delete Git branch

When you use git , you often find that you create a large number of branches unconsciously. So, the trouble is coming, so many abandoned branches, what to do?

You can't always do git branch-d branchname Delete it!

Here's a way to bulk delete a branch:

git branch |grep ‘branchName‘ |xargs git branch -D

This is the ability to bulk delete branches through Shell pipeline commands

git branch output current Branch list

grep is a match for the output of git branch , and the matching value is of course branchname

The role of Xargs is to convert the argument list to small pieces to pass to other commands

Therefore, the meaning of this command is:

从分支列表中匹配到指定分支，然后一个一个(分成小块)传递给删除分支的命令，最后进行删除。

This is where we want to bulk delete the branch.
