How to delete branches from GitHub/BitBucket.
Raw
DeleteBranches.md

  1. If the branches are only local, you can use -d if the branch has been merged:

    git branch -d branch-name

  2. If the branch contains code you never plan on mergin, use -D instead:

    git branch -D branch-name

  3. If the branch is in the upstream repo you can remove the remote reference by:

    git push origin :branch-name
