Git Branch Cleanup

Automatically identifies and removes local git branches that track remote branches that no longer exist (marked as "gone").

When to Use This Skill

• User asks to "clean up git branches"
• User wants to "remove deleted branches"
• User mentions "prune branches" or "cleanup stale branches"
• Local branches show [origin/branch: gone] status
• After merging pull requests and deleting remote branches

Prerequisites

• Git repository initialized
• Must be on main/master branch (not on a branch you want to delete)
• Active internet connection to fetch from remote
