git_curate
A command-line tool to interactively review and delete local Git branches with detailed commit information.
What is git_curate?
git curate is a command-line tool that helps developers clean up local Git branches by interactively reviewing each branch with detailed commit information and deciding whether to delete or keep it. It solves the problem of repository clutter by providing a guided workflow that shows last commit details, merge status, and upstream tracking status before making deletion decisions.
Git users who work with multiple feature branches and need to regularly prune their local repositories to maintain clarity and organization.
Developers choose git curate because it offers a safer, more informative alternative to manual `git branch -D` commands by presenting all relevant context before deletion and protecting current worktrees automatically.
