Since it can be annoying to manually cleanup 40 tracking branches which were removed by the remote system, 'git remote prune <n>' can now be used to delete any tracking branches under <n> which are no longer available on the remote system.

git-remote - manage set of tracked repositories
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git-remote'
|
|
'git-remote' add <name> <url>
|
|
'git-remote' show <name>
|
|
'git-remote' prune <name>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Manage the set of repositories ("remotes") whose branches you track.
|
|
|
|
With no arguments, shows a list of existing remotes.
|
|
|
|
In the second form, adds a remote named <name> for the repository at
|
|
<url>. The command `git fetch <name>` can then be used to create and
|
|
update remote-tracking branches <name>/<branch>.
|
|
|
|
In the third form, gives some information about the remote <name>.
|
|
|
|
In the fourth form, deletes all stale tracking branches under <name>.
|
|
These stale branches have already been removed from the remote repository
|
|
referenced by <name>, but are still locally available in "remotes/<name>".
|
|
|
|
The remote configuration is achieved using the `remote.origin.url` and
|
|
`remote.origin.fetch` configuration variables. (See
|
|
gitlink:git-config[1]).
|
|
|
|
Examples

|
--------
