Re:Shit – An implementation of Git using POSIX shell

On the other hand I understand de data model of git and can't to the most basic shit without looking up which invocation I need via search engine/man pages. Like... deleting a branch `git branch -d` (-D for forced deletion). Deleting a remote? `git remote rm`. Knowing the model teaches me nothing about the ui.

This seems like a good opportunity to plug two aliases I wrote about a year ago that have been very helpful for cleaning up all the extraneous branches that would show up when I ran `git branch`.
I run `git listdead` after I merge and delete a branch and do the next fetch (`git pull --rebase`). That lists the branches that can now be deleted.
Then I run `git prunedead` and it actually removes them.
Previously if I ran `git branch` it would list every development branch I had ever created in nearly a decade of work. Now it lists maybe ten branches.
listdead = "!sh -c \"git branch -vv | grep ': gone]' | awk '{print \\$1}'\""
prunedead = "!sh -c \"git branch -vv | grep ': gone]' | awk '{print \\$1}' | xargs git branch -D\""
