I'd posit a power user can also do something a bit like (Zsh with GNU or FreeBSD xargs) `print -N my remotes to delete | xargs -0n1 git remote remove`, or (portably) `for remote in my remotes to delete; do git remote remove "$remote"; done`. I couldn't find a comparable command beyond `git branch --delete`, which _does_ take multiple branches. -- D. Ben Knoble
