Answer 1

Delete locally:

To delete a local branch, you can use:

git branch -d 

To delete a branch forcibly, use -D instead of -d.

git branch -D 

Delete remotely:

There are two options:

git push origin :branchname

git push origin --delete branchname

I would suggest you use the second way as it is more intuitive.
