why not just set `git config fetch.prune true`?

I don’t think this detects a branch that can be deleted after a squash merge to master

as long as the remote branch is deleted it does. Both github and gitlab can delete branch on merge

`git fetch --prune` only deletes remote-tracking branches (`refs/remotes/<remote>/<branch>`) but not local tracking branches (`refs/heads/<branch>`).
