When I type git branch, I get
* master localbranch But when I try to remove the branch, git branch -d localbranch, I get a not found error:
error: branch 'localbranch' not found. I have also tried to force the delete with git branch -D localbranch, but it is giving me the same error.
The branch was corrupted and I did the following procedure, Git repository corrupt (incorrect header check; loose object is corrupt), to remove the corrupted files. But now I cannot delete the branch.

A branch in Git is simply a lightweight movable pointer to one of these commits. The default branch name in Git is master . As you start making commits, you're given a master branch that points to the last commit you made. Every time you commit, the master branch pointer moves forward automatically.
The command checkout -b creates a new branch and then checks out to that branch. So, if a branch already exists, it cannot create a new one. The above command does in a context sensitive way. If there's a branch, it switches, if not, it creates and checkout.
You can not only create a new branch but also switch it simultaneously by a single command. The git checkout -b option is a convenience flag that performs run git branch <new-branch>operation before running git checkout <new-branch>. Syntax: $ git checkout -b <branchname>
Update your pull request branch by rebasing When your pull request's branch is out of date with the base branch, you now have the option to update it by rebasing on the latest version of the base branch.
Branches are stored as files containing the SHA they point to. Try deleting the file for this branch, named localbranch, from the .git/refs/head/ directory within your project:
rm .git/refs/heads/localbranch If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
