Below is a Powershell script that will remove local Git branches except for a list of excluded branches.
# Usage: .\RemoveGitBranches.ps1 -directoryPath "C:\path\to\your\repository"
param (
[string]$directoryPath
)
# Define the branches to keep
$branchesToKeep = @("dev", "develop", "development", "main", "master", "qa", "test", "stage")
# Change to the specified directory
Set-Location -Path $directoryPath
# Get a list of all local branches
$branches = git branch --format "%(refname:short)"
foreach ($branch in $branches) {
$branch = $branch.Trim()
# Check if the branch is not in the list of branches to keep
if ($branch -notin $branchesToKeep) {
# Delete the branch
git branch -D $branch
}
}
