* feat: add git-delete-gone-branches command Adds a new command to delete local branches whose remote-tracking branch has been deleted (shown as [gone] in git branch -vv). This is a common need after PRs are merged and remote branches are cleaned up, leaving stale local branches behind. Features: - Deletes all local branches with a gone remote in one command - --dry-run / -n flag to preview branches before deletion Closes #1220 * Address PR review feedback on git-delete-gone-branches - Use git for-each-ref instead of git branch -vv to avoid false positives from commit messages containing ': gone]' - Add interactive confirmation prompt by default; skip with -f/--force - Add -p/--prune flag to run git fetch --prune before checking - Add generated man page .1 and .html files * Use GitHub profile for author contact in man page * Fix gone-branch detection with nobracket format

git-delete-gone-branches(1) -- Delete branches whose remote is gone
SYNOPSIS
git-delete-gone-branches [-n|--dry-run] [-f|--force] [-p|--prune]
DESCRIPTION
Deletes all local branches whose remote-tracking branch has been deleted. This commonly happens after a pull request is merged and the remote branch is removed. By default, lists the branches and prompts for confirmation before deleting.
OPTIONS
-n, --dry-run
Show the branches that would be deleted without actually deleting them.
-f, --force
Skip the confirmation prompt and delete branches immediately.
-p, --prune
Run git fetch --prune before checking for gone branches, to ensure
remote-tracking refs are up to date.
EXAMPLES
$ git delete-gone-branches
$ git delete-gone-branches --dry-run
$ git delete-gone-branches --force
$ git delete-gone-branches --prune
