Git - Delete Branches
Before deleting any branch if you want to know your branches just run:
$ git branch -a
The output will be like:
*master
feature
remote/origin/master
remote/origin/feature
Now;
Delete Local Branch
$ git branch -d <branch_name>
-d
flag is for “delete” as you may assume. In addition to that, the -d
flag
only deletes the branch if it has already been fully merged in its upstream
branch. You can also use -D
, which is for --delete --force
, which deletes
the branch “irrespective of its merged status.” Source: git-scm
Delete Remote Branch
# New version (Git 1.7.0 or newer)
$ git push -d <remote_name> <branch_name>
# Git versions older than 1.7.0
$ git push <remote_name> :<branch_name>
All done!
