At work each project has a few branches related to our gitops
setup that mostly are in the way in the daily work. I add negative
refspecs to `.git/config` to tell git to ignore them. However,
this doesn't remove them from the output of my favourite log
command[1]. In order for that to happen I currently manually edit
`.git/packed-refs`, removing the mentions of all uninteresting
refs.
It does feel like there ought to be a better, less manual and less
error prone, way to get git to clean them out.
Here's a stanza with the added negaitve refspecs for a project I
cloned today:
[remote "origin"]
url = g...@github.com:my-org/my-proj.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
fetch = ^refs/heads/staging
fetch = ^refs/heads/sandbox
fetch = ^refs/heads/production
fetch = ^refs/heads/travis-test-output
fetch = +refs/notes/*:refs/notes/*
push = +refs/notes/*:refs/notes/*
Which I later had to go in and manually modify the
`.git/packed-refs` for in order for them to stop showing up.
If there's an even better way to hide away uninsteresting branches
I'd love to hear about it too.
