Deleting remote branches?

 

When I run git branch -a, it prints out like this, for ex: 

branch_a
remotes/origin/branch_a

Few questions:

  • What does branch_a indicate?
  • What does remotes/origin/branch_a indicate?
  • How do I delete remotes/origin/branch_a?
  • branch_a indicates that you have a local branch called branch_a .
  • remotes/origin/branch_a indicates that you have a remote called origin , and you are tracking the branch_a within the origin remote. This isn't necessarily associated with your own branch_a , but it probably is ( git branch -a doesn't say).
  • Since the remotes/origin/branch_a is a remote tracking branch, it's required if your own branch_a is set up to track the remote. If not, then deleting the origin remote should remove it, or you might be able to simply git branch -d remotes/origin/branch_a .
  • branch_a is the local 'tracking branch' for the remote branch_a.
  • remotes/origin/branch_a is a remote branch, living on the origin repository.
  • git push origin :branch_a removes the remote branch from the origin repository, despite looking a bit hackish. If you want to remove branch_a, run git branch -d branch_a .
