+# Clean Up Old Remote Tracking References
+
+After working on a Git-versioned project for a while, you may find that
+there are a bunch of references to remote branches in your local repository.
+You know those branches definitely don't exist on the remote server and
+you've removed the local branches, but
+you still have references to them lying around. You can reconcile this
+discrepancy with one command:
+
+```bash
+$ git fetch origin --prune
+```
+
+This will prune all those non-existent remote tracking references which is
+sure to clean up your git log (`git log --graph`).
