How to delete a Git branch locally and remotely?
I want to delete the git branch locally and remotely, but I don't know how? Here are my failed attempts:
Attempt 1:
git branch -d remotes/origin/bugfix
Output:
error: branch 'remotes/origin/bugfix' not found.
Attempt 2:
git branch -d origin/bugfix
Output:
error: branch 'origin/bugfix' not found.
Attempt 3:
git branch -rd origin/bugfix
Output:
Deleted remote branch origin/bugfix (was 2a14ef7).
git push
Output:
Everything up-to-date
git pull
Output:
* [new branch] bugfix -> origin/bugfix
What should I do to delete the remotes/origin/bugfix branch both locally and remotely?
To remove a local branch from your machine:
git branch -d {the_local_branch} (use -D instead to force deleting the branch without checking merged status)
To remove a remote branch from the server:
git push origin --delete {the_remote_branch}
Deleting a remote branch
git push origin --delete <branch> # Git version 1.7.0 or newer
git push origin -d <branch> # Shorter version (Git 1.7.0 or newer)
git push origin :<branch> # Git versions older than 1.7.0
Deleting a local branch
git branch --delete <branch>
git branch -d <branch> # Shorter version
git branch -D <branch> # Force-delete un-merged branches
Deleting a local remote-tracking branch
git branch --delete --remotes <remote>/<branch>
git branch -dr <remote>/<branch> # Shorter
git fetch <remote> --prune # Delete multiple obsolete remote-tracking branches
git fetch <remote> -p # Shorter
