Keep your dbt™ project repository organized by deleting branches that are no longer needed. Paradime offers two approaches: automated pruning that removes multiple merged branches at once, and manual deletion for removing specific branches individually.

​
One-Click Branch Pruning

One-Click Branch Pruning automatically identifies and removes local branches that have been merged and deleted on remote. This feature eliminates the need for manual cleanup and helps maintain an organized workspace.
Benefits
  • Automatic Detection: Instantly identifies branches that were deleted on remote
  • Safe Cleanup: Only removes branches that have been properly merged
Branch pruning is available for both GitLite and Git Advanced users. See below step by step instructions:
Step-by-Step Instructions:
  1. Open Git Lite panel in the left sidebar
  2. Click the scissor icon to access branch pruning
  3. Review the branches that will be removed (shows exactly which branches will be deleted)
  4. Confirm the cleanup to remove all identified branches
Smart DetectionThe pruning feature shows you exactly which branches will be removed before deletion, eliminating guesswork and preventing accidental removal of important branches.

​
Manual Branch Deletion

For Git Advanced users who need to delete specific branches individually or remove branches that haven’t been merged yet. Step-by-Step Instructions:
  1. Open the Git Advanced panel in the left sidebar
  2. Click the three-dot menu (⋯) on top left of side bar
  3. Select “Delete Branches” from the dropdown
  4. Choose the specific branch you want to delete from the list
  5. Confirm the deletion
A branch can only be deleted from the UI if it has already been pushed and merged with the remote branch. To force delete an unmerged branch, use the terminal command: git branch -D <branch_name>
