Description

For example, a user may want to push to GitLab simply to trigger a around of testing in GitLab CI, in which case it'd be nice if it's possible to clean up remote branches/tags as well so that users don't need to do this manually.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the existing git sync implementation, focusing on the push command and its options. Then add a new input (e.g., 'purge') that deletes remote branches and tags not present in the source before or after the sync.
