Add this alias (enter this once on your terminal)
git config --global alias.cb '!git fetch -p && for branch in $(git for-each-ref --format '\''%(refname) %(upstream:track)'\'' refs/heads | awk '\''$2 == "[gone]" {sub("refs/heads/", "", $1); print $1}'\''); do git branch -D $branch; done'so whenever you need to clean your local branches without removing just need to
git cbThis is an improvement of: https://stackoverflow.com/a/33548037/3180052
Please note that this will work best (and most of the git workflow) if you keep commands simple (KISS) and if you always read the git console output after each command
Avoid adding anything else to git push or git pull unless the same git output tells you to do so!
(Just use git push, not git push origin ... and so on, keep it simple, please! - add only words/parameters you are trully sure of its purpose)
