👽 Delete all merged branches in remote

git branch -r --merged master | grep -v -e master -e develop | sed -e 's% *origin/%%' | xargs -I% git push --delete origin %
  1. Show all merged branches in master on origin
  2. I exclude master and develop because we do not want them to disappear
  3. Delete origin/***
