Interactive rebasing is incredibly useful, as other options like `squash`, `break` or even `exec` are available. Just keep in mind that it makes more sense to do this on a branch where only you work to avoid team friction.

## Clean up local branches

When a PR is merged, the branch is usually deleted after it is safely merged into the default branch. But the branch still exists locally. If you want to delete all the local branches, which got deleted in your remote repository, you can run this command in most shells (use `wsl` on Windows):

+
91
+
```bash
92
+
git fetch -p && git branch -vv | awk '/: gone] / {print $1}' | grep -v '^\*$' | xargs -I{} git branch -d "{}"
93
+
```

This is a destructive action. Therefore I included a safeguard by using the lowercase `-d` parameter. If your branches are not cleanly merged, git will not delete them. If you are sure you want to delete all those branches no matter what, use `-D` instead.
