How do I delete a Git branch locally and remotely?

To delete a Git branch both locally and remotely, you can follow these steps. I'll provide you with an example for each step:

1. Delete Locally:

   Use the following commands to delete a branch locally:

   sh

# Switch to a different branch (if you're on the branch you want to delete)
git checkout <another-branch>

# Delete the branch locally
git branch -d <branch-name>

If the branch contains unmerged changes, use -D instead of -d to force deletion:

sh

git branch -D <branch-name>

Example:

sh

git branch -d feature/new-feature

Delete Remotely:

After deleting the branch locally, you need to delete it on the remote repository as well. Use the following command:

sh

git push origin --delete <branch-name>

Example:

sh

2. git push origin --delete feature/new-feature
   

By following these steps, you'll delete the branch both locally and remotely. It's important to note that deleting a branch is a permanent action, so make sure you have the necessary backups or have pushed any important changes to another branch before proceeding.
