How to delete remote branch in git

Question

Deleting the remote branch failed. How to delete the remote branch?

Answer 1

Isn’t it written that there is no "new" branch on the remote server? Has it been deleted by someone else?

Remove local tracking

#Deleting a local remote-tracking branch:
git branch --delete --remotes <remote>/<branch>
git branch -dr <remote>/<branch> # Shorter

Answer 2

删除远程分支和tag

在Git v1.7.0 之后，可以使用这种语法删除远程分支：

$ git push origin --delete <branchName>
删除tag这么用：

git push origin --delete tag <tagname>

否则，可以使用这种语法，推送一个空分支到远程分支，其实就相当于删除远程分支：

git push origin :<branchName>
这是删除tag的方法，推送一个空tag到远程tag：

git tag -d <tagname>
git push origin :refs/tags/<tagname>
两种语法作用完全相同。

删除不存在对应远程分支的本地分支

假设这样一种情况：

我创建了本地分支b1并pull到远程分支 origin/b1；
其他人在本地使用fetch或pull创建了本地的b1分支；
我删除了 origin/b1 远程分支；
其他人再次执行fetch或者pull并不会删除这个他们本地的 b1 分支，运行 git branch -a 也不能看出这个branch被删除了，如何处理？
使用下面的代码查看b1的状态：

$ git remote show origin
* remote origin
  Fetch URL: git@github.com:xxx/xxx.git
  Push  URL: git@github.com:xxx/xxx.git
  HEAD branch: master
  Remote branches:
    master                 tracked
    refs/remotes/origin/b1 stale (use 'git remote prune' to remove)
  Local branch configured for 'git pull':
    master merges with remote master
  Local ref configured for 'git push':
    master pushes to master (up to date)
这时候能够看到b1是stale的，使用 git remote prune origin 可以将其从本地版本库中去除。

更简单的方法是使用这个命令，它在fetch之后删除掉没有与远程分支对应的本地分支：

git fetch -p

Answer 4

Indicates that the remote branch corresponding to this branch is in stale status and synchronizes the local repository. Command:
git remote update origin --prunegit remote update origin --prune
git pull -pgit pull -p I usually use this
But you have to manually delete the branch locally.
