To completely remove a remote branch, you need to use the git push origin command with a -d flag, then specify the name of the remote branch. So the syntax representing the command for removing a remote branch looks like this: git push origin -d branch-name .
Delete a local branch You can't delete a branch if you're checked out that branch. You will see this error: Cannot delete branch 'branch-name' checked out at 'some-location'. To fix this, you will have to switch to a different branch. -d is shortcut for —-delete and it deletes a branch.
Deleting a branch LOCALLYDelete a branch with git branch -d <branch> . The -d option will delete the branch only if it has already been pushed and merged with the remote branch. Use -D instead if you want to force the branch to be deleted, even if it hasn't been pushed or merged yet. The branch is now deleted locally.
You answer should be : git checkout master.
