gh-stack sync --prune deletes merged-PR refs during sync

Introduced 2026-05-15 · score 0.94

HOW TO USE IT

When syncing a stack with merged PRs, run `gh stack sync --prune` to automatically delete their local branches. The documentation does not confirm deletion of remote-tracking refs.

gh stack sync --prune

WHY THIS HELPS

During sync, remove local branches and remote-tracking refs for merged pull requests.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

  • Version: v0.0.4
  • --prune: Automatically delete local branches for merged PRs during sync.
  • Prerequisite: Install the GitHub CLI extension with `gh extension install github/gh-stack`; the docs require GitHub CLI v2.0+ and Git 2.36+.
  • Docs conflict: The release note says pruning deletes local branches and remote-tracking refs. The command documentation describes deletion of local branches only and does not confirm remote-tracking ref deletion.
