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!
