If the branches are only local  you can use -d if the branch has been merged  like  git branch -d branch-name   If the branch contains code you never plan on merging  use -D instead   If the branch is in the upstream repo  on Bitbucket  you can remove the remote reference by   git push origin  branch-name   Also  if you re on the Bitbucket website  you can remove branches you ve pushed by going to the Feature branches tab under Commits on the site  There you ll find an ellipsis icon  Click that  then choose Delete branch  Just be sure you want to drop all the changes there

I ve wrote this small script when the number of branches in my repo exceeded several hundreds  I did not know about the other methods  with CLI  so I decided to automate it with selenium  It simply opens Bitbucket website  goes to Branches  scrolls down the page to the end and clicks on every branch options menu -  clicks Delete button -  clicks Yes  It can be tuned to keep the last N  100 - default  branches and skip branches with specific names  master  develop - default  could be more    If this fits for you  you can try that way   https   github com globad remove-old-branches  All you need is to clone the repository  download the proper version of Chrome-webdriver  input few constants like URL to your repository and run the script   The code is simple enough to understand  If you have any questions  write comments   create an Issue
