I have many git branches. How do I delete branches which have already been merged? Is there an easy way to delete them all instead of deleting them one by one?

UPDATE:
You can add other branches to exclude like master and dev if your workflow has those as a possible ancestor. Usually I branch off of a "sprint-start" tag and master, dev and qa are not ancestors.
To delete all local branches that are already merged into the currently checked out branch:
git branch --merged | egrep -v "(^*|master|dev)" | xargs git branch -d
You can see that master and dev are excluded in case they are an ancestor.
You can delete a merged local branch with:
git branch -d branchname
If it s not merged, use:
git branch -D branchname
To delete it from the remote in old versions of Git use:
git push origin :branchname
In more recent versions of Git use:
git push --delete origin branchname
Once you delete the branch from the remote, you can prune to get rid of remote tracking branches with:
git remote prune origin
or prune individual remote tracking branches, as the other answer suggests, with:
git branch -dr branchname
Hope this helps.
