Today I was cleaning out some repositories of some branches that I no longer needed. I had a bunch of branches that started with task/ that I wanted to delete. I could have gone through and deleted each one individually, but that would have taken a while. Instead, I found a way to delete all of them in one command.

git branch -D `git branch --list 'task/*'`

This command will delete all branches that start with task/. The -D flag is used to force delete the branches. If you want to be prompted before deleting each branch, you can use the -d flag instead.

I hope this helps you clean up your repositories a little faster!
