git-push: Remove remote branches that don't have a local counterpart.
$ git push --prune ${remote_name}
try on your machine
The command git push --prune ${remote_name}
is used to push local changes to a remote repository and prune (remove) any remote branches that have been deleted locally.
Here's what each part of the command does:
git push
: This command is used to send local commits to a remote repository.--prune
: This flag instructs Git to remove any remote branches that no longer exist locally. When you delete a branch locally and push your changes, Git will also delete that branch on the remote repository.${remote_name}
: This is a placeholder representing the name of the remote repository to which you want to push your changes. You would replace${remote_name}
with the actual remote repository's name, such asorigin
.
So, when you run this command, Git will push your local changes to the specified remote repository and also remove any branches on the remote repository that have been deleted locally.
