I want to point out explicitly that .git config supports aliases, so in .gitconfig put an [alias] section, and in that you can put ciaclean = "!alias ciaclean='git branch --merged origin/main | grep -vE "^\s(*|main|develop)" | xargs -n 1 git branch -d'"

so then it's `git ciaclean` and not bare `ciaclean` which imo is cleaner.
