Huh. That's weird. If I run the command does it work?
✗ git for-each-ref refs/heads/pr/* --format='%(refname)' for-each-ref refs/heads/pr/* --format='%(refname)' | while read ref ; do branch=${ref#refs/heads/} ; git branch -D $branch ; done
Deleted branch pr/2528 (was fcb88bc).
uhh... ok, so the command works if I run it, but somehow not as a git alias?
