glab repo adds command to prune merged local branches

Introduced 2026-06-05 · score 0.97

HOW TO USE IT

When you need to remove merged local branches, run `glab repo prune`; it checks merge requests and prompts before deleting eligible branches. Use `--dry-run` to preview first.

glab repo prune --dry-run
glab repo prune
glab repo prune --yes

WHY THIS HELPS

Remove merged local branches while maintaining a repository checkout.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

  • Version: v1.102.0
  • --dry-run: Preview branches without deleting them.
  • -e, --exclude <branch-or-glob>: Exclude branches by name or glob; comma-separated or repeatable.
  • --merged: Use `git branch --merged` instead of querying GitLab; detects fast-forward merges only.
  • -y, --yes: Skip the confirmation prompt.
  • Prerequisite: Run in a repository checkout. GitLab is queried by default to check merge request status for local branches.
