Orphan a Branch with Aviator CLI

Learn how to orphan a branch using Aviator CLI for better version control and repository management.

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 <branch>

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.
