Deleting a remote branch

Question

When I perform branch -a:

$ git branch -a
* master
 remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
 remotes/origin/hello
 remotes/origin/master
         


        

Answer 1

You need to remove it from the remote with the following command:

git push origin --delete hello

When you are running git branch -rd origin/hello you are deleting your local branch only. The code above removes it from the origin repo.
