Deleting branches in Git

As mentioned in previous lessons, Git does not delete branches when merging. If you no longer need a branch, you need to delete it with a special command. To do this, use the branch command with the -D flag, followed by the name of the branch to be deleted, separated by a space.

Let's delete our test branch as an example:

terminalgit branch -D test

After executing the command, we will see the following message:

terminalDeleted branch test (was c440a0b).
