GitHub Branch

This lesson is part of Git · All levels

Summary

In addition to the local branch, Git recognizes remote branches represented as remote-tracking branches such as origin/play. The git branch -r command displays branches on the remote, while git branch -a displays local and remote at the same time. Remote branch management is done via the push or push origin --delete command.

Key points

Git branch -r displays branch remote-tracking
Git branch -a displays local and remote branches simultaneously
Origin/play is a reference to the final fetch, not a local physical branch
Git origin --delete remove branch in remote
