It's easy to tidy up branches which have been deleted on a remote using the prune switch on git fetch, e.g.:

git fetch --all --prune

but deleting the corresponding local branches is less convenient.

Until today, I used git branch to spot local branches and then:

git branch -d branch-name

to delete them, one at a time.

But today I found this solution on stackoverflow which deletes all local branches that have been merged into main:

git branch --no-contains main --merged main | xargs git branch -d
