gh poi is a GitHub CLI extension that safely deletes local git branches whose pull requests have been merged, including squash-merged branches that lack merge history. It identifies branches via the GitHub API and protects active or locked branches from accidental deletion.
Use cases
- clean up local branches after squash merging pull requests
- delete merged branches without force-deleting active work
- find which local branches are safe to remove
- protect important branches from accidental deletion with locks
- preview branch deletions before running them
- clean up branches across forks with a deep scan
When to choose
- you squash-merge PRs and git branch -d fails due to missing merge history
- you want a safe, automated alternative to git branch -D
- you already use the GitHub CLI and want a subcommand-based workflow
- you work with forks and need thorough branch-to-PR matching
When to avoid
- you don't use GitHub or GitHub pull requests for your workflow
- you need to clean up branches in repos hosted outside GitHub
- you prefer a general-purpose git branch cleaner without PR awareness
