Test out git remote prune, git prune, git fetch --prune
there are 3 places we can see our branches: 1.remote 2.local-remote (ref/remote) 3.local
git fecth sync up remote and local-remote.
git branch -a show you local and local-remote
local remote will not remove ref unless you use purge
"git remote prune origin" same as "git fetch --prune" if you are working on one remote repo only
when you have a branch deleted on remote. sync up your local ref/remote with it.
git branch -dr origin/[your branch name]
only delete ref/remote. no actual branch is delete from remote.
git branch -d [your branch name]
does not delete ref/remote, obvious nor remote.
git checkout --orphan mybranch
create a branch without any history commit. but it will still have the files inhert from where you creatd it. e.g. files in master.
git rm -rf .
remove all the files in this brunch.
