Delete Remote Branch
$ git push -d <remote_name> <branch_name>
$ git branch -d <branch_name>
in most cases the remote name is origin. In such a case you’ll have to use the command like so.
$ git push -d origin <branch_name>
Delete Local Branch
$ git branch -d branch_name
$ git branch -D branch_name
Note: The -d option is an alias for –delete, which only deletes the branch if it has already been fully merged in its upstream branch. You could also use -D, which is an alias for –delete –force, which deletes the branch “irrespective of its merged status.” [Source: man git-branch]
