How to list and delete branches
List branches
# list your local branches $ git branch # list your remote branches $ git branch -r # list both remote and local branches $ git branch -a
See the last commit on each Branch
$ git branch -v
List merged or not merged branches
# list the branches that are already merged into the branch youre on $ git branch --merged # list the branches that contain work you havent yet merged in $ git branch --no-merged
Delete branches
# delete a local branch $ git branch -d <<local_branch_name>> # delete a remote branch $ git push origin :<<remote_branch_name>>
If you have other branches that contain work that haven’t merged in yet, trying to delete it with git branch -d will fail. But if you really do want to delete the branch and lose that work, you can force it with -D.
# force to delete an unmerged branch $ git branch -D <<local_branch_name>>
