Add more git smart features
This is a nice tool. I wonder what you'd think about extending it to include more git features? The top one I can think of right now would be git-smart-delete:
- Populate the same initial list of branches as git-smart-checkout
- Instead of a fuzzy matcher, I think you'd want something like prefix matching to be able to delete multiple branches at once, or the option to choose different matchers
- Confirm which branches are being deleted; maybe warn for ones that aren't merged yet or don't delete those by default
I know you can just do `git branch --merged | grep -Ev "^*|main|master" | xargs git branch -d", but the more helpful UI of smart-checkout would make me feel better about cleaning up my branches, so I think this could be a good addition.
Sounds good to me 👍 I'll add it to the backlog of ideas.
One way of implementing this would be to combine the search functionality with a multi select prompt. You would select needed branches by pressing a key (or maybe 2 keys simultaneously to avoid clashes with the search typing) and then press Enter
to batch delete them all. The multi select would look something like this:

For those with a lot branches a solution would be to add a shortcut to select all branches matched against the search result
