git delete remote branch — push delete

Quick Answer

# Delete the remote branch
git push origin --delete feature/my-branch

# Delete the local branch (if you also want that gone)
git branch -d feature/my-branch

When to use this

A feature branch has been merged and you want to clean it up on the remote (GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket).

Other causes & fixes

Force-delete a local branch that is not fully merged

git branch -D feature/my-branch    # uppercase D skips the merge check

Prune remote tracking refs for deleted branches

After others delete branches on the remote, your local repo still shows stale origin/branch entries. Prune them:

git fetch --prune
# or configure git to prune automatically:
git config --global fetch.prune true

List all remote branches

git branch -r
