 #### Delete all remote git branches
 # Primary purpose: When you fork a repo and want a clean slate for your fork.

 #### WARNING
 # This is REALLY UNSAFE. Don't do this on a shared repo!
 # Again: DO NOT DO THIS unless you're really, really sure.

 ### BONUS: Delete all remote tags
 # Same warning applies!
 # Deletes 1000 at a time
