Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

git-tidy

An interactive CLI tool for cleaning up unused git branches. Built with Ink for a beautiful terminal UI experience.

Features

  • Interactive wizard - Step-by-step guided cleanup process
  • Dry-run by default - Safe mode that shows what would be deleted without actually deleting
  • Multiple filter criteria - Filter branches by:
    • Merged status (already merged into default branch)
    • Stale branches (no commits in X days)
    • Age-based (branches older than X days)
    • Pattern matching (e.g., feature/*, hotfix/*)
  • Smart defaults - Auto-detects default branch via GitHub API
  • Batch selection - Select all, none, or invert selection with keyboard shortcuts
  • Local & remote - Delete both local and remote branches in one go
  • Delete after dry-run - Option to execute deletion right after reviewing dry-run results

Installation

# Install globally from npm
npm install -g git-tidy-cli

From source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/ArmandBrworworworx/git-tidy.git
cd git-tidy

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build
npm run build

# Link globally
npm link

Usage

Simply run git-tidy in any git repository:

git-tidy

Options

| Flag | Description | |------|-------------| | -x, --execute | Actually delete branches (default: dry-run mode) | | -y, --yes | Skip confirmations (for scripting) | | -t, --token <token> | GitHub personal access token (or use GITHUB_TOKEN env) | | -V, --version | Show version | | -h, --help | Show help |

Examples

# Interactive mode (dry-run by default)
git-tidy

# Actually delete branches
git-tidy --execute

# Use with GitHub token for better API access
git-tidy --token ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxx
# or
GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxx git-tidy

Workflow

  1. Scope Selection - Choose to clean local, remote, or both
  2. Filter Criteria - Select which branches to include (merged, stale, pattern, etc.)
  3. Branch Selection - Review and select specific branches to delete
  4. Confirmation - Review summary before deletion
  5. Execution - Watch progress as branches are deleted
  6. Summary - See results with option to delete for real after dry-run

Keyboard Shortcuts

| Key | Action | |-----|--------| | ↑ ↓ | Navigate | | Space | Toggle selection | | Enter | Confirm / Proceed | | Esc | Go back | | a | Select all (in branch selection) | | n | Select none (in branch selection) | | i | Invert selection (in branch selection) | | d | Delete for real (after dry-run) | | q | Quit |

Safety

  • Dry-run by default - No branches are deleted unless you pass --execute or press d after a dry-run
  • Protected branches - Automatically protects main, master, develop, and the repository's default branch
  • Current branch protection - Never deletes the branch you're currently on
  • Confirmation step - Always shows a summary before any deletion
