How do I delete a Git branch locally and remotely?
To delete a Git branch both locally and remotely, you can use the following commands:
Delete Remote Branch:
git push <remote_name> --delete <branch_name>
This command removes the specified branch from the remote repository.
Delete Local Branch:
git branch -d <branch_name>
I remember when I first started working with Git, managing branches was a bit tricky, but these commands have made it much easier. Hope this helps you keep your repositories clean and organized!

To delete a remote branch, you can use one of the following commands, depending on your Git version:
For Git version 1.7.0 or newer:
git push origin --delete <branch>
git push origin -d <branch>
For older versions of Git:
git push origin :<branch>
To delete a local branch, you can use:
git branch --delete <branch>
git branch -d <branch> # Shorter version
git branch -D <branch> # Force-delete un-merged branches
To delete a local remote-tracking branch, you can use:
git branch --delete --remotes <remote>/<branch>
git branch -dr <remote>/<branch> # Shorter
To delete multiple obsolete remote-tracking branches, you can use:
git fetch <remote> --prune
git fetch <remote> -p # Shorter
Replace <branch> with the name of the branch you want to delete and <remote> with the name of your remote repository. These commands have been lifesavers in keeping my branches tidy!
