Name

git-gone - prune "gone" Git branches

Synopsis

git gone [-fv] list + git gone [-fv] prune

Description

Lists or removes "gone" branches, that is, local branches which used to have an upstream branch on a remote which is now removed.

This situation typically occurs in a pull request workflow where the upstream branch gets deleted on the server after merging a pull request, leaving the local branch from which the pull request originated in place. git gone easily removes these left-over branches.

Commands

list:: List all gone branches.

prune:: Delete all gone branches. + Prints a list of deleted branches including a command to restore the branch as long as the referenced commit is still in the reflog.

Options

-V:: --version:: Print the version number and exit.

Exit status

0 on success, non-zero otherwise.
