Here's my take on the one-liner that I use via a `git tidy` alias[1]. A few points:

* It ensures the default branch is not deleted (main, master)

* It does not touch the current branch

* It does not touch the branch in a different worktree[2]

* It also works with non-merge repos by deleting the local branches that are gone on the remote

    git branch --merged "$(git config init.defaultBranch)" \
    | grep -Fv "$(git config init.defaultBranch)" \
    | grep -vF '*' \
    | grep -vF '+' \
    | xargs git branch -d \
    && git fetch \
    && git remote prune origin \
    && git branch -v \
    | grep -F '[gone]' \
    | grep -vF '*' \
    | grep -vF '+' \
    | awk '{print $1}' \
    | xargs git branch -D
