Every day I come closer to writing a “branch eater” Github action that just deletes branches older than ~2 weeks.

If it has passed out of your current mental context and requires merge conflict resolution, it’s a liability. Write it again.

Martin Fowler

@avdi If I have an old branch like that, I tag it with something like "exp-useful-name" and delete the branch. "exp" tells me that this was some experiment. That way the code is still in the repo in case I want to recall how I tried something.
