Accidentally created branch with name origin/master

Question

In a fit of unbelievable stupidity I accidentally ran

git checkout -b origin/master

And now have a branch named origin/master which ruins everything. Is it safe to just run

git -D origin/master?

I tried looking in the config for the branch but its not defined there. Yet when I run git branch I see it.

Answer 1

git branch -D origin/master will delete your local origin/master branch.

This will not delete your origin's (remote) master branch. Deleting your remote branches would be either:

(git 1.7.0)

git push origin --delete branch

or

git push origin :branch
