When you delete a branch with git, and push those changes, you might see that your local repo still has that branch in the list

What this basically does is fetch all the branches and all the ones with a ‘gone’ attribute, (meaning deleted remotely), then we will remove them.

You can view the branches and what their attribute is yourself by typing

Of course, you need to prune the branches on the remote git server

To make sure all is good, just re-list your branches, (local and remote)

This assumes that you have all the permissions needed to access your repo, (passwords and so on).

Start Git Shell and navigate to your local repo.

Create a branch

git checkout -b <branch-name>
git push <remote-name> <branch-name>


In the case of github the remote name is ‘origin’

Add your changes to the branch

git add .


The ‘.’ means ‘everything’ that was changed.

You can use ‘status’ to check what needs to be staged, (or what has been staged).

git status


Commit branch

git commit -m "You message here"


Push branch
The first time you need to tell where you are pushing this to.

git push --set-upstream <remote-name> <branch-name>


The afterwards you just need to do…

git push


Delete your branch

To remotely delete it

git push <remote-name> --delete <branch-name>


To locally delete it


git branch --delete <branch-name>
