This is cool!

For those who just want to clean old branches from their forks and insist on doing this process locally, you can also check out git-sweep[1]

Looks super handy! I usually every few months clean out a repo's branches that are outdated or no longer used by hand. It's good to see there's an alternative tool for that :)

Wow what a lovely tool!

I used it successfully to delete many old Forks.

Just one request if you could give list with select/unselect for all the forks queued for deletion so we may can unselect any few of those repos just in case.

Yes, that was a feature I was debating on adding, I figure launch the tool first, then see what features people want. I'll add this in soon!

I second this request. It's a nice tool, but it can be really easy to accidentally nuke something useful.
