git pull displays “fatal: Couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/xxxx” and hangs up

Question

I created a branch called \'6796\', then I pushed it to remote, checked it out on another machine, made other edits, pushed it, then merged it with the master, and deleted it -

Answer 1

You also have to delete the local branch:

git branch -d 6796

Another way is to prune all stale branches from your local repository. This will delete all local branches that already have been removed from the remote:

git remote prune origin --dry-run
