Git - Remove all local branches which origin is deleted (Git Fetch Prune)

[devjiwonchoi]

After git fetch --prune or using VS Code Git: Fetch (Prune), local branches remain in the VS Code project.

In order to delete those branches, the user has to delete them one by one or use certain command lines.

Suggesting the feature to remove local branches where origin is deleted which could be validated by git fetch --prune.

What came of this? PR closed?

[devjiwonchoi]

Yeah, needed 2 more upvotes or 2 more community approvals on the PR, reopened PR #205031

[gvsakhil]

We need this feature, we cant delete branches locally one by one. upvote done

[prhasn]

This is a no brainier feature. How is this not approved yet? 😳

[bdrazen]

Workaround with GitLens.

Does a new issue need to be created for the bot to look at it again? I don't think there's any way to re-open the issue and it doesn't seem like @lszomoru will look at the PR.

Eh, I'd guess integrating co-pilot is a bigger priority then a very, VERY simple quality of life feature....

I mean, afterall, this is a microsoft project. :-/

[jimmyn]

This is very much needed feature!

[erolkunman]

LETS DO THIS!

[jimmyn]

I am currently using npx git-removed-branches --prune as an alternative until this feature is implemented.

[sashinka-inx]

Is this still open? would be nice to have this feature :/

[exetico]

Another upvote here (and the golden 👍 pressed). Thanks for the tip about npx git-removed-branches --prune, @jimmyn (I'll use npm install -g git-removed-branches > git removed-branches)

[oscarnorberg]

I'm looking for this as well, upvote! ➕
