Description
Hi @tj,
When your team do Merge Requests in web, like in Gitlab, your remote branch is deleted, but local current branch isn't.
To avoid user to go into develop branch, do a git pull and then execute git delete-branch branch-name, it would be interesting an method like this:
Command
git delete-current-branch
Instructions
branch=$(git branch --show-current)
git checkout develop
git pull
git branch -d $branch
What do you think about this?

Research direction
Start with the proposed git delete-current-branch command and review the shell sequence in the issue, especially how it identifies the current branch and uses develop. Done means the new command is available in git-extras and its behavior matches the documented instructions without leaving the user on the deleted branch.
