Git: Delete a branch (local or remote)
To delete a local branch
git branch -d the_local_branch
To remove a remote branch (if you know what you are doing!)
git push origin :the_remote_branch
Note
If you get the error
error: unable to push to unqualified destination: the_remote_branch
The destination refspec neither matches an existing ref on the remote nor
begins with refs/, and we are unable to guess a prefix based on the source ref.
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@repository_name'
perhaps someone else has already deleted the branch. Try to synchronize your branch list with
git fetch -p
The git manual says
-p, --prune
After fetching, remove any remote-tracking branches which no longer exist on the remote.
