Show an icon or text when a branch is local only

7 votes

Git Extensions puts (gone) next to the branch name when a remote branch that the local branch is linked to is deleted. This is super helpful for knowing which feature branch can be deleted locally. I would like to see something similar in GitKraken as it is one of the things I still start Git Extensions for.

Yeah! this should be implemented... in Fork (another client) you see a small orange/yellow exlamation triangle icon when the remote (or tracking) branch is removed. This way you know when your branch is merged (for example).
Would like to have this!

Yes, this would make my life easier. Now I always have to think hard before deleting local branches.

I very much want this. It’s one thing I really miss from my previous git client that added red triangles if the tracked remote branch was deleted.

This would be super helpful for me as I find it hard to look at GitKraken to see stale branches that I only have locally. I often have several branches on the go and I find it annoying to figure out been merged and deleted.

Even better feature is if you could have an icon saying it's PR was merged
