git-branch: Delete a remote branch.
$ git push ${remote_name} --delete ${remote_branch_name}
try on your machine

The git push command is used to publish the local changes to a remote repository. In this specific command, we are using the --delete option to delete a branch from the remote repository.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • ${remote_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the remote repository. It should be replaced with the actual name of the remote repository you want to push the changes to.

  • --delete: This option is used to delete the specified branch from the remote repository.

  • ${remote_branch_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the branch you want to delete from the remote repository. It should be replaced with the actual name of the branch.

When you execute this command, Git will push the command to the specified remote repository and delete the specified branch from that repository.
