@math2001 Yup you are right. Someone suggested an improvement which should fix your issue as well I think: https://dev.to/maurobringolf/bash-exercise-delete-all-local-git-branches-except-current-one-9a6/comments/10pc.

The improved version is here: https://gist.github.com/maurobringolf/d21e92cf3a1715e35c800db9b869a1a4
