To delete a Git branch locally and remotely, you need to follow a few simple steps.
Deleting a local Git branch:
Open your terminal or Git Bash and navigate to your local Git repository.
Make sure you are on a different branch than the one you want to delete. You cannot delete a branch that you are currently on.
Run the following command to delete the local branch:
phpgit branch -d <branch-name>
In this command, replace
<branch-name>
with the name of the branch you want to delete.If the branch has not been merged yet, you can use the
-D
flag instead of-d
to force the deletion.Verify that the branch has been deleted by running the following command:
git branch
This will show you a list of all local branches. The deleted branch should not be on the list.
Deleting a remote Git branch:
Open your terminal or Git Bash and navigate to your local Git repository.
Run the following command to delete the remote branch:
perlgit push <remote-name> --delete <branch-name>
In this command, replace
<remote-name>
with the name of the remote repository and<branch-name>
with the name of the branch you want to delete.Verify that the branch has been deleted by running the following command:
git branch -r
This will show you a list of all remote branches. The deleted branch should not be on the list.
Note that deleting a branch is a permanent action and cannot be undone. Make sure to confirm with your team before deleting any branches.
