GitPruner

Extension to prune the current git repository. Mitigates the refresh bug (untracked branches are not updated locally when its remote branch has been deleted) in traditional tools like GitLens.

Features

NOTE: GitPruner needs GitLens extension to be installed.

Once installed, the extension creates a status bar button "Prune" which can be used to prune the current repository.
