Git: Delete a Branch from Local and Remote

$\mathtt{REFERENCE}$ @ StackOverflow

1. Delete Local Branch

Local branch can be deleted using one of the following commands:

git branch -d <branch_name>

git branch -D <branch_name>

Note: The -d option is an alias for --delete, which only deletes the branch if it has already been fully merged in to its upstream branch.

You could also use -D, which is an alias for --delete --force, which deletes the branch irrespective of its merged status.

2. Delete Remote Branch

As of Git V1.7.0, you can delete a remote branch using

git push <remote_name> --delete <branch_name>
