# remove-merged-branches
[](https://github.com/svandriel/remove-merged-branches/actions/workflows/node.js.yml)
Command line tool removing all branches that have been merged to the current branch.
Supports dry runs and offline use.
It can be used to remove both _local_ and _remote_ branches.
## Usage
Install globally:
```
npm i -g remove-merged-branches
```
And then you just call:
```
rmb
```
...or if you prefer verbosity, enter `remove-merged-branches`
## Syntax
```
Usage: rmb [options]
Removes merged branches locally and remotely
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
-b, --branch Base branch to compare others to (default: "HEAD")
-o, --offline Runs without doing anything to remotes (default: false)
--verbose Shows more output (default: false)
--dry-run Performs a dry run instead of removing branches (default: false)
-h, --help output usage information
```
## What does it do?
First it clears out the local branches that have been removed on the remotes:
```bash
git fetch --prune
```
Then, it finds all **local** branches merged to the HEAD branch and removes them:
```bash
git branch --merged $(git rev-parse HEAD)
# Then calls 'git branch -d' on each merged branch
```
Then, it finds all **remote** branches merged to the HEAD branch and removes them:
```bash
git branch --remote --merged $(git rev-parse HEAD)
# Then call 'git push --no-verify --delete' on each origin and branch
```
Finally, it clears out the local branches that have been removed due to the previous action:
```bash
git fetch --prune
```
## Example output
```
