Identifies and removes stale git branches, orphaned remote branches, and unused worktrees. Cross-references with Linear (or other integrations) to check issue status before deleting. Use when your repos have accumulated stale branches and you want to tidy up.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Git Cleanup

Intelligently identify and remove stale branches, orphaned remotes, and unused worktrees — with confirmation at every step.

## Preferences

Before starting, use the `Read` tool to read `~/.claude/skills/git-cleanup/preferences.md`. If the file does not exist, treat as "no preferences set".

## Context

_On startup, use Bash to detect: working directory, git repos in cwd (directories with `.git`), and current git branch. Skip any that fail._

## Command routing

Check `$ARGUMENTS`:

- **`help`** → display help then stop
- **`config`** → interactive setup then stop
- **`reset`** → delete `~/.claude/skills/git-cleanup/preferences.md`, confirm, stop
- **anything else** → parse as natural language or repo path, then run

### Help

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add mostafa-drz/claude-skills/git-cleanup@sha256:c123468117cbed9a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.22df896, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
