How to delete a local branch in git?

Question

I want to delete a local branch in Git but this failed:

git branch -d 

Answer 1

If you edit your branch & want to delete it without merging it to your master branch, you have to force delete it with the option -D instead of -d.

git branch -D <branch_name>

Answer 2

git branch -D <branch_name>

Answer 3

Your command to delete a branch is correct:

git branch -d <branch_name>

But you may have an error message indicating you need to use the -D option to force the deletion of the branch:

git branch -D <branch_name>
