Body
copied!<p>Since about a month ago, every time I issue a 'git pull', I end up with a bunch of remotes/origin/pr/* branches on my 'git branch -a', which map directly to the number of pull requests having ever been opened in this repo. Doing a 'git remote prune origin' cleans them up.</p> <p>Before Pull :</p> <pre><code>C:\experimental [develop]> git branch -a * develop feature/291 master remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master </code></pre> <p>Pull :</p> <pre><code>C:\experimental [develop]> git pull From https://github.com/.../experimental * [new ref] refs/pull/1/head -> origin/pr/1 * [new ref] refs/pull/10/head -> origin/pr/10 * [new ref] refs/pull/100/head -> origin/pr/100 * [new ref] refs/pull/101/head -> origin/pr/101 * [new ref] refs/pull/102/head -> origin/pr/102 * [new ref] refs/pull/103/head -> origin/pr/103 ... * [new ref] refs/pull/103/head -> origin/pr/382 </code></pre> <p>After Pull:</p> <pre><code>C:\experimental [develop]> git branch -a * develop feature/291 master remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master remotes/origin/pr/1 remotes/origin/pr/10 remotes/origin/pr/100 remotes/origin/pr/101 remotes/origin/pr/102 remotes/origin/pr/103 ... remotes/origin/pr/382 </code></pre> <p>Cleanup :</p> <pre><code>C:\experimental [develop]> git remote prune origin Pruning origin URL: https://github.com/.../experimental.git * [pruned] origin/pr/1 * [pruned] origin/pr/10 * [pruned] origin/pr/100 * [pruned] origin/pr/101 * [pruned] origin/pr/102 * [pruned] origin/pr/103 ... * [pruned] origin/pr/382 </code></pre> <p>After Cleanup :</p> <pre><code>C:\experimental [develop]> git branch -a * develop feature/291 master remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master </code></pre> <p>How do I stop the initial 'git pull' from pulling them down ?
