I started using one script added to this thread :
#!/bin/bash
main() {
REMOTES="$@";
if [ -z "$REMOTES" ]; then
REMOTES=$(git remote);
fi
REMOTES=$(echo "$REMOTES" | xargs -n1 echo)
CLB=$(git branch -l|awk '/^\*/{print $2}');
echo "$REMOTES" | while read REMOTE; do
git remote update $REMOTE
git remote show $REMOTE -n \
| awk '/merges with remote/{print $5" "$1}' \
| while read line; do
RB=$(echo "$line"|cut -f1 -d" ");
ARB="refs/remotes/$REMOTE/$RB";
LB=$(echo "$line"|cut -f2 -d" ");
ALB="refs/heads/$LB";
NBEHIND=$(( $(git rev-list --count $ALB..$ARB 2>/dev/null) +0));
NAHEAD=$(( $(git rev-list --count $ARB..$ALB 2>/dev/null) +0));
if [ "$NBEHIND" -gt 0 ]; then
if [ "$NAHEAD" -gt 0 ]; then
echo " branch $LB is $NBEHIND commit(s) behind and $NAHEAD commit(s) ahead of $REMOTE/$RB. could not be fast-forwarded";
elif [ "$LB" = "$CLB" ]; then
echo " branch $LB was $NBEHIND commit(s) behind of $REMOTE/$RB. fast-forward merge";
git merge -q $ARB;
else
echo " branch $LB was $NBEHIND commit(s) behind of $REMOTE/$RB. reseting local branch to remote";
git branch -l -f $LB -t $ARB >/dev/null;
fi
fi
done
done
}
main $@
It has been working fine so far, but I was wondering how to configure it to pull out all the branches, for some reason it will not pull certain local branches.
First example : I have 4 local branches left with the leading one being the current one, after running this script several branches (4) that were behind were deleted, but I can still see the main branch behind the console, as shown below:

Second example : before running the script, I got this, 2 local branches behind and the current (release) in order:

I run the script and I got this:

So, how can I configure the script to "all" local branches?
