$ git branch -d         


        

Answer 1

A one-liner command to delete both local, and remote:

D=branch-name; git branch -D $D; git push origin :$D

Or add the alias below to your ~/.gitconfig. Usage: git kill branch-name

[alias]
    kill = "!f(){ git branch -D \"$1\";  git push origin --delete \"$1\"; };f"
