How do I delete a git branch locally and remotely?

Git branches are an essential part of your daily development process, but once you or your team have finished with a feature and merged it into your remote's master branch, you would want to delete it from the local and as your remote. You can do it in two ways:

git push --delete <remote_name> <branch_name>

To delete a local branch, use the following:

git branch -d <branch_name>

Note:

• -d option for git branch the command is an alias of --delete flag, which deletes the branch if it has already merged in its upstream branch.
• -D is also an option --delete flag, which deletes the branch "regardless of its merged status."
