Probably you will end up searching for it anyway:

bash <(curl -s https://gist.githubusercontent.com/shazron/87966896c72e3197f5391b13fd0d7a14/raw/676392bed7ce4f246c7b8edba1312741cfbed61b/delete_all_greenkeeper_branches.sh)

Copy paste to run this script directly from url.

I recommend people stumbling across this to run the command without the last xargs pipe first, just to get a glance of which branches would potentially be affected (there is no easy way to reverse this as far as I'm concerned). For somebody with 300+ branches to clean up in order to remove and replace greenkeeper, this is a real life-saver. Thanks 👍

@steffenz I updated the script with a --dry-run option

Wow - that's awesome 😄 Wasn't expecting a fix at all, but it is definitely highly appreciated. Thanks for sharing, and making it even better 🎉 You saved me a lot of time!

FYI, I have a GitHub action for it: https://github.com/cometkim/cleankeeper

👍 Nice :)
