# Git

Nu can help with common `Git` tasks like removing all local branches which have been merged into master.

### Delete git merged branches

**Warning**: This command will hard delete the merged branches from your machine. You may want to check the branches selected for deletion by omitting the last git command.

```nu
git branch --merged | lines | where ($it != "* master" and $it != "* main") | each {|br| git branch -D ($br | str trim) } | str trim
# => ───┬───────────────────────────────────────────
# =>  0 │ Deleted branch start_urls (was fc01bb45).
# => ───┴───────────────────────────────────────────
```

Parse formatted commit messages (more details in the parsing git log section)

```nu
git log --pretty=%h»¦«%aN»¦«%s»¦«%aD | lines | split column "»¦«" sha1 committer desc merged_at | first 10
# => ───┬──────────┬───────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────
# =>  # │   sha1   │     committer     │                         desc                          │            merged_at
