It is simple to delete a Git branch. We can delete a Git branch locally and remotely with simple git commands.
It is common to have different branches. There is a great way to work on different features and fixes. Repos often have a master branch for the main codebase and developers create other branches to work on different features. Once work is completed on a feature, it is often recommended to delete the branch.
Deleting a branch Locally:
git branch -d <branch>
e.g. git branch -d task/story_1
The -d option is an alias for --delete, which only deletes the branch if it has already been fully merged in its upstream branch.
Deleting a branch Remotely:
git push <remote> --delete <branch>
e.g. git push origin --delete task/story_1
The branch is now deleted remotely
