git branch -vv | grep ': gone]' | grep -v "\*" | awk '{ print $1; }' | xargs -r git branch -D

- "git branch -vv" lists all local branches, including their full SHA-1 hashes.
- "grep ': gone]'" filters the output to only show branches that have the : gone] marker. This marker indicates that the branch has been deleted on the remote repository.
- 'grep -v "\\*"' filters the output to only show branches that are not the current branch. This is done to prevent the current branch from being deleted.
- "awk '{ print $1; }" prints the first column of the output, which is the name of the branch.
- "xargs -r git branch -D" deletes the branches that were listed in the previous step.

Unfortunately, even if you check "[x] Prune tracking branches no longer present on remote(s)" inside of Fetch, this will only remove Branches under "Remote" and not your "Local" checked out (now remotely deleted) branches.
