git-delete-merged-branches:tldr:5e0e8

The command "git delete-merged-branches" is not a standard Git command. It is likely a custom command or alias created by a user or a script.

However, based on the name, we can infer its purpose. It is likely used to delete branches that have been merged into another branch.

In Git, when you work on a feature or a bug fix, you create a separate branch. Once you have finished working on it and merged it into the main branch (e.g., master), the branch is typically no longer needed. It is a best practice to delete these merged branches to keep your repository clean and to avoid clutter.

The "git delete-merged-branches" command is likely a custom script or alias that performs the following steps:

1. Lists all the branches in the repository.
2. Checks if each branch has been merged into another branch (usually the main branch).
3. Deletes the branches that have been merged.

The script or alias could be written in a programming language like bash or any other scripting language, utilizing Git commands such as "git branch" to list branches and "git branch -d " to delete a specific branch.

It is worth noting that this is not a standard Git command, so it might not be available in all Git installations.
