Now, it is time to create this branch on our remote repository i.e. The above graphic shows that the master branch contains four files while our new branch br-tst-1 contains five files. Just to remind, we are on the br-tst-1 branch by using checkout command.Ĭomparing the files in master and br-tst-1 branchĪgain run the ls command for both branches after running the checkout command and compare the files: This should display the following message: $ git commit -m “added file-4 for testing” In our repository folder in the local system, I placed a new file file-4.txt and this is how it is added in the br-tst-1 branch: You can see, both branches contain the same files at this stage. Now see what this and master branch contains by using the ls command: The first step is creating a branch by this command namely br-tst-1.Ī branch should be created in the local repo. This command should remove the branch and as I refreshed the repo page in Github website, this is the result:Ī step by step guide from creation to deleting a branchįor beginners, this section describes the process of creating a branch locally, adding a file, committing, adding that branch remotely and finally deleting the branch from local and remote repositories.įor that, consider we have a repository with the name tst-demo on Github (remotely) and on the local system. See how this branch is removed by this command: The repository contains two branches – one is the master while the other is hello-git-branch. For the demo, we have a test repository on Github website.
#Git remove local branch how to#
How to delete branches in Github (remotely)?įor deleting a branch from your remote repository (in this case Github), you may use the –delete. You may learn more about getting the SHA1 here.
#Git remove local branch code#
However, if you cleared the screen or restarted the Git Bash then this code won’t be visible. The SHA1 code mentioned above can be found immediately after you removed a branch and want to recover the branch. This command should create the branch from the same point where this was removed. (The SHA1 7f5faa4 will vary, so take the code from your Git Bash). The SHA1 code can be seen as you deleted a file (see picture below): hello-git-branch.įor recovering a branch, you need SHA1. Suppose we want to recover the same branch as I deleted in above section i.e. If you accidentally removed a branch or just testing and want to undo the branch removal operation then this section describes how you may do this. $ branch -d hello-git-branch How to undo removal operation of a branch? If this branch has an upstream branch then execute these two commands:Īnd finally, for deleting the hello-git-branch with –d flag, execute these two commands: To merge this branch, run this command after checking out into master branch i.e.: Suppose, our branch name that is not fully merged is hello-git-branch. How to fully merge the branch?īefore running the command with -d flag, you may use this command for fully merging with upstream branch:
If you are want to remove this even branch is not fully merged then use the -D flag which is the alias for force delete i.e. Then you may delete this by -D flag as shown below:Īs such, -d flag is the alias for –delete, it requires you to fully merge the branch to be deleted to its upstream branch. The command for removing this branch:Įrror: The branch “tst-br” is not fully merged …
Suppose, the branch name we want to delete is tst-br. The command for removing a branch locally: First, let us have a look at the general way of deleting branches both locally and remotely.
In this tutorial, I will explain how to remove Git branches locally as well as in the remote server.
