When you delete a branch with git, and push those changes, you might see that your local repo still has that branch in the list

git fetch -p && git branch -vv | awk '/: gone]/{print $1}' | xargs git branch -d

What this basically does is fetch all the branches and all the ones with a ‘gone’ attribute, (meaning deleted remotely), then we will remove them.

You can view the branches and what their attribute is yourself by typing

git branch -vv

Of course, you need to prune the branches on the remote git server

git remote prune origin

To make sure all is good, just re-list your branches, (local and remote)

git branch --vv -a

This assumes that you have all the permissions needed to access your repo, (passwords and so on).

Start Git Shell and navigate to your local repo.

Create a branch

git checkout -b <branch-name>
git push <remote-name> <branch-name>


In the case of github the remote name is ‘origin’

Source

Add your changes to the branch

git add .


The ‘.’ means ‘everything’ that was changed.

You can use ‘status’ to check what needs to be staged, (or what has been staged).

git status


Commit branch

git commit -m "You message here"


Push branch
The first time you need to tell where you are pushing this to.

git push --set-upstream <remote-name> <branch-name>


The afterwards you just need to do…

git push


Delete your branch

To remotely delete it

git push <remote-name> --delete <branch-name>


To locally delete it


git branch --delete <branch-name>
