About:
GitTrim is a command-line utility that automatically cleans up local and remote tracking branches that have been merged or deleted from the remote repository. It helps maintain a clean and manageable Git workspace by identifying branches that are safe to remove, reducing clutter and confusion in your development workflow.
Key Features:
  • Automatically detects merged and deleted remote tracking branches
  • Provides safe cleanup options with preview capabilities
  • Supports multiple Git hosting services (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
  • Configurable branch preservation rules
Use Cases:
  • Cleaning up stale branches after completing feature development
  • Maintaining a clean repository when working with multiple remotes
  • Automating branch cleanup in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • git-delete-merged-branches – Similar functionality but git-trim offers better remote tracking awareness
  • Manual git commands – git-trim automates the tedious process of finding and removing stale branches
