@oelmekki - I tend to favor git push --delete over the prefixed colon, mostly because it makes it clearer about what's going on (since git push is not usually mentally associated with destructive actions unless --force is present).

@ayust : agreed. I usually don't bother with shell alias coding style, but it's already hard enough to understand what the command does.
