Common tasks

Delete merged branches

• git remote prune origin prunes tracking branches not on the remote
• git branch --merged lists branches that have been merged into the current branch
• xargs git branch -d deletes branches listed on standard input
• git branch --merged | xargs git branch -d plumbs everything together

Resolve a merge conflict

Let's suppose you have an automated merge failure going from the prod branch (33.0) to the test branch (33.1). So you will want to merge prod into test.
