I found a useful Git one liner buried in leaked CIA developer docs

Buried in 2017 Vault7 leaks, a developer tip solves a common Git clutter problem.

Deep Dive

A developer discovered a Git one-liner in leaked CIA internal documentation from WikiLeaks' 2017 Vault7 release. The command `git branch --merged | grep -v "\*\|master" | xargs -n 1 git branch -d` automatically finds and deletes all merged local branches, keeping repositories clean. Users can alias it (e.g., `ciaclean`) to run after deployments, transforming a cluttered branch list back to just a handful of active ones.

Why It Matters

Saves developers minutes each week on repository maintenance and eliminates the tedious manual cleanup of merged feature branches.
