Git Branch Tools
Git Branch Tools or gbt is a CLI tool that helps streamline certain tedious housekeeping tasks around local branches. It was born out of necessity when I noticed that I would often leave local branches behind after merging them or closing them on remote, leading to weekly "branch pruning sessions" that could eat away time that could otherwise be put to good use.
gbt addresses some shortcomings of the git CLI that can reduce development velocity.
Setup
yarn global add git-branch-tools@latestor
npm install git-branch-tools -gThis depends entirely on git, which you can install here.
