Delete all the merged branches in git
git branch --merged | grep -v '^* ' | xargs git branch -dThis lists all the merged branches (git branch --merged) filters out the branch beginning with * which indicates the current branch (grep -v '^* ') and then uses xargs to send those branch names as arguments to git branch delete (xargs git branch -d).

For not deleting master

(Shameless plug) I have a small git commands library, which one is "git purge-branches" that deletes branches merged to master from both local and origin: https://github.com/divoxx/git-fu
