# Orphan a Branch with Aviator CLI Aviator CLI keeps track of all the branches you have created through the CLI or that you have adopted in a db file in `.git/av/av.db`. If for some reason you want to remove a stack from the CLI, you can run ``` git switch ``` and then run ``` av orphan ``` The current branch, and all branches following it in the stack, will be removed from `av.db` and will no longer be tracked by the CLI. To re-add them take a look at [Adopt a Branch](/aviator-cli/how-to-guides/adopt-a-branch.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
