Now you can do it with the GitHub Desktop application.

After launching the application

1. Click on the project containing the branch

2. Switch to the branch you would like to delete

3. From the "Branch" menu, select, "Unpublish...", to have the branch deleted from the GitHub servers.

4. From the "Branch" menu, select, 'Delete "branch_name"...', to have the branch deleted off of your local machine (AKA the machine you are currently working on)
