git-delete-branch
Delete both local and remote branches
TLDR
Delete local and remote branch
$ git delete-branch [branch]
SYNOPSIS
git delete-branch branch
DESCRIPTION
git delete-branch deletes a branch both locally and on the remote in a single command. Part of the git-extras collection, it simplifies branch cleanup by combining what would normally require separate git branch -D and git push origin --delete operations.The command is particularly useful in pull request workflows where feature branches become obsolete after merging. Multiple branches can be passed and will each be deleted in turn.
PARAMETERS
branch
Name of the branch to delete locally and remotely.
INSTALL
sudo apt install git
sudo dnf install git
sudo pacman -S git
sudo apk add git
sudo zypper install git
brew install git
nix profile install nixpkgs#git
CAVEATS
Requires git-extras to be installed. Remote deletion requires push access to the remote. Local deletion uses -D (force), so unmerged work can be lost.
