    # Delete all redundant git branches

    # 1. `git branch` lists all the branches
    # 2. `xargs -L1` consumes the pipe output one line at a time, feeding it as an an arg to the target command
    # 3. `git branch -d` deletes the branches that are redundant (already merged).
    # Note: this print results for each branch, either
    # saying it's deleted or that you need to use -D to delete it because it's not redundant.

    git branch | xargs -L1 git branch -d
