Take some time to review the dialog's contents. Bitbucket displays the Create a new repository page. From Bitbucket, click the + icon in the global sidebar and select Repository.As a bonus, we added a git alias for our cleanup command that allows us to cleanup our local branches using git gone.Do the following to create your repository: We did this by combining the git for-each-ref command with the awk and xargs commands.
SOURCETREE UPDATE REMOTE BRANCHES HOW TO
In this blog post, we’ve shown how to cleanup local git branches that are tracking remote branches that no longer exist. Interestingly, due to the way git is implemented on Windows, the above alias also works on Windows. Gone = ! "git fetch -p & git for-each-ref -format '%(refname:short) %(upstream:track)' | awk '$2 = \"\" ' | xargs -r git branch -D" Within that file, find the section (or add it), and add an alias to it named gone: You can edit this file by running: git config -global -edit. Our final step is to add our command as a git alias, which allows one to define custom commands that can be called as if they were built into git. Sweet! The final step is to pipe this output to xargs to delete the branches: $ git for-each-ref -format '%(refname:short) %(upstream:track)' |ĭeleted branch grammar-fix (was 01257bd).Īnd that’s it! We now have a single command to delete all local branches which remote tracking branches have been deleted. We can do this by piping the output to awk, which can filter the branches and print their name (removing the remote tracking status): $ git for-each-ref -format '%(refname:short) %(upstream:track)' | The next step is to filter the branches which remote branch is gone. Great! We now have a reliable, consistent way to retrieve our local branches and their remote tracking status. We can do one last optimization here, and that is to return the branches in their shortened format by using refname:short: $ git for-each-ref -format '%(refname:short) %(upstream:track)' refs/heads
Now this is something we can work with! As we’re only interested in our local branches (heads), we’ll filter them by appending refs/heads to our command: $ git for-each-ref -format '%(refname) %(upstream:track)' refs/heads We can use git for-each-ref to list all branches and their upstream’s branch’s status in our desired format: $ git for-each-ref -format '%(refname) %(upstream:track)' It so happens that the git for-each-ref command lets us specify its output format, neatly circumventing the aforementioned problems. The output can be modified by the user.See this blog post by Junio C Hamano (git maintainer). The output could change in the future.However, this is problematic for the following reasons: A naive approach would be to parse the aforementioned output of git branch -v. The first step in our automation is to identify the branches to delete. But what if there are many of these branches? Things would get tedious quickly, so let’s try to automate this! Identifying the gone branches Our only option is to manually delete them through git branch -d. Unfortunately, git does not have built-in functionality to cleanup these local branches. This indicates that these branches are indeed tracking remote branches that have been deleted. There are three local branches, of which two ( fix-typo and grammar-fix) are marked with. Let’s see if we have local branches that are tracking deleted branches: $ git branch -vįix-typo 7b57d4f Fix typo in README In this case, three remote branches were deleted. To identify these branches, we first have to cleanup (prune) the remote’s branches: $ git fetch -p
When using git, local branches can track remote branches that no longer exist (the remote branch is gone).
