Delete a merged branch

Description: The branch feature-menu is merged into main. Show the merged branches and delete it.

Hint:

  • git branch --merged lists merged branches. -d is the safe delete.

Solution

Terminal output

$ git branch –merged
feature-menu
* main
$ git branch -d feature-menu
Deleted branch feature-menu (was cda1bfa).
$ git branch
* main

How it works

  • The safe delete -d works only when the branch is merged. Otherwise Git refuses.
  • The commit is not lost, because it is already part of main.

Read Git Branch.
