Deleting a local git branch
clean up the branch list with this one-liner command-line command

To delete a local git branch, use the following command:
$ git branch -d <local-branch-name>This will fail if you have not:
- merged this branch's code into other branches
- pushed this code to a remote repository
To delete the branch without doing all of that, we have an alternate command:
$ git branch -D <local-branch-name>(Note the capital D!)
