—How do I delete a Git branch locally and remotely?
First, ensure that the repository is not currently on the branch to be deleted:
git checkout main
To delete a local branch that has been fully merged, you can use git branch -d
:
git branch -d branch-to-delete
To delete a local branch that has not been fully merged (i.e. force delete), you must use git branch -D
:
git branch -D branch-to-delete
To delete a remote branch, use git push --delete
. Assuming that the remote is named origin
, you would use the command:
git push origin --delete branch-to-delete
