Reduce the number of branches

I don't know the exact number, but I think you have more than 200 branches in this repository, resulting in a size of over 700 MB when git clone'ing. When I installed this repository, it took one hour to download … 🙄

Afaik it’s heikos project policy to keep them.
From my point of view I would be ok with deleting old ones - most of the code is already in master.
In my other projects I delete merged branches after closing the PR.

But I think @HHS81 should state his wishes.

wow- that much? Yeah, I think we should delete very most of them.

where to start easily?

I will look over that the next days or so.
I think github lets sort them by age.

I now deleted all branches whose pull requests were merged or closed.

That leaves us with the following branch types:

• branches without PR (@HHS81 you might check them. Once ready, you can finally close this issue)
• branches for draft PRs (I would keep them until we decide to finally neglect the respective draft PR)
• branches for open PRs (those need to be tested/verified, merged and then can be deleted)
