Like... I'm sorry, is it just me, or is this the most ridiculously convoluted way to explain the concept of "HEAD" that has ever been seen?

How To Delete Local And Remote Branches In Git: A Complete Guide

Deleting a Local Branch in Git To delete a local branch, use one of these commands: Deleting a Remote Branch in Git To delete a branch from a remote repository (like GitHub or GitLab):

Local Branch vs. Remote Branch in Git

Understanding the difference between local and remote branches is crucial for working with Git effectively.

Local Branch

Location: Exists only on your machine.

Purpose: For individual development; changes here won’t affect other developers. It’s where you do your day-to-day development and changes.

You can create, delete, and modify it without affecting other developers.

Command to List Local Branches: git branch

Remote Branch

Location: Exists on a remote server (e.g., GitHub, GitLab).

Purpose: For collaboration; changes here are accessible to the team, allowing multiple people to work on the same branch.

You need to fetch or pull changes from the remote to sync it with your local branch.

Command to List Remote Branches: git branch -r

Key Differences Between Local and Remote Branches

Feature

Local Branch

Remote Branch

Location

Exists on your machine only

Exists on a remote server

Collaboration

Used for individual work

Used for collaboration with the team

Creation/Deletion

Only affects your local repository

Affects everyone who accesses the remote

Syncing

You can work offline

Requires fetching or pulling updates

Understanding with an example

Let’s walk through a practical example.

Step 1: Cloning the Repository

Let us clone a basic repo from GitHub git clone git@github.com:TvisharajiK/sample.git #git shows the below Cloning into 'sample'... remote: Enumerating objects: 3, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (3/3), done. remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0 (from 0) Receiving objects: 100% (3/3), done.

Navigate to the cloned directory and check the available branches:cd sample git branch -a * main remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/main remotes/origin/main

Currently, we have only the main branch in the sample repository.

Step 2: Working with Local Branches

Let's create a local branch named try$ git checkout -b try Switched to a new branch 'try'

Deleting the Feature Branch

Now, try to delete the try branch using the -d option:$ git branch -d try error: Cannot delete branch 'try' checked out at '/Users/tvisharaji/sample'

You’ll encounter an error since you cannot delete the currently checked-out branch.

Switching to the Main Branch

Switch to the main branch to delete try:$ git checkout main Switched to branch 'main'

Now, delete the try branch again:$ git branch -d try Deleted branch feature (was 3aac499)

Deleting a Local Branch With the -D Option

Let’s recreate the try branch and make some changes:$ git checkout -b try $ echo "trying this" >> README.md $ git add README.md $ git commit -m 'Add to README'

Attempting to delete the branch with -d again, it will show an error because it contains unmerged changes:$ git branch -d try error: The branch 'try' is not fully merged.

Force Deletion

To force delete the branch, use:$ git branch -D try Deleted branch try (was 4a87db9)

Understanding Local Branch Deletion

It’s important to note that using -d or -D will only remove the local branch; any corresponding remote branch will remain unaffected.

Deleting a Remote Branch

To delete a remote branch, use one of the following commands:

For Git versions 1.7.0 and later:git push origin --delete <branchName>

Creating and Pushing a Remote Branch

Let’s create a tryrem branch, make some changes, and push it to the remote repository:$ git checkout -b tryrem $ echo "trying for the Remote branch" > remote.txt $ git add remote.txt $ git commit -m 'Add remote.txt' $ git push origin tryrem

Deleting the Remote Branch

To remove the remote tryrem branch:$ git push origin --delete tryrem

After executing this command, the remote branch is deleted, but your local branch will still exist.

Conclusion

In this article, we explored how to delete local and remote branches in Git. Here’s a quick summary:

Delete a local branch: git branch -d <branchName> or git branch -D <branchName> for force deletion.

Delete a remote branch: git push origin --delete <branchName>

FAQ

What command do I use to delete a local branch in Git?

To delete a local branch safely, use:bashCopy codegit branch -d <branchName>To force delete a local branch, use:bashCopy codegit branch -D <branchName>

How do I delete a remote branch in Git?

To delete a remote branch, use one of the following commands:bashCopy codegit push origin --delete <branchName>orbashCopy codegit push origin :<branchName>

What is the difference between a local branch and a remote branch?

Local Branch: Exists on your machine only; used for individual development without affecting others. Commands to manage local branches include git branch to list them.

Remote Branch: Exists on a remote server (e.g., GitHub or GitLab); used for collaboration. Changes to remote branches affect all collaborators. Use git branch -r to list remote branches.

Can I delete a branch that I’m currently on?

No, you cannot delete the branch you are currently checked out on. You must switch to another branch (e.g., main) before deleting the desired branch.

What happens if I try to delete a branch that has unmerged changes?

If you attempt to delete a local branch with unmerged changes using the -d option, you will receive an error. To forcefully delete the branch, you can use the -D option.

What are the consequences of deleting a local branch?

Deleting a local branch with -d or -D only affects your local repository. The corresponding remote branch will remain intact unless explicitly deleted.

How can I verify if a branch has been deleted successfully?

To check if a branch has been deleted:

For local branches, use:bashCopy codegit branch

For remote branches, use:bashCopy codegit branch -r

What is the process for creating and pushing a new branch to a remote repository?

To create and push a new branch to a remote repository:bashCopy codegit checkout -b <newBranchName> git push origin <newBranchName>

[21st-century-minutiae]

Git is an early twenty-first century version control tool. It allows multiple people to work on a project simultaneously with reduced issues. For example, multiple people can edit the same file at the same time without a live internet connection and git will allow users to deal with any collisions that occur.

A "commit" in git is the smallest unit of change. Rather than record every since modification a user makes, the user will make a set of changes then "commit" them as a unit. Git would allow them to revert all the changes in a commit, go back in time to what a project was like at the time of a commit, or communicate chunks of changes to other users of the same project. It is a "commitment" to the changes a person is made, which is then "pushed" to other users or "pulled" from other users, and "merged" with other commits.

When using git, a user (if they aren't using a UI to do the operations) will type in 'git commit' as a command, often including a message for other people to see that explains the set of changes. Or rather, that is the intention, as, when projects go on, people tend to get lazier with commit messages. However, "commit" is very rarely used as a transitive verb in the English language. A person "commits to" something or someone, or "makes a commitment." When commit is used as a transitive verb, it is usually in the context of "commit a crime" or "commit suicide."

The above is making a lowbrow dark humor joke where the git commit message is completed with how an English speaker might parse it, turning it into a command for git to take its own life. This may be a reference to the frustration caused by git in the worst case, which is not necessarily the fault of the software and more a natural consequence of trying to coordinate a project between many people.

CW: soap x reader, brief mentions of past bullying, religious soap, pushy soap - dividers @/cafekitsune

The mortifying case of Soap having been one of your childhood bullies.

You spot him for the first time in years when he tugs open the door to the corner store just down the street from your parent's house—blissfully unaware of your presence as you duck away behind an aisle in hopes he won't spot you.

Despite being years older, its impossible not to recognize his face.

Last time you checked he had fucked off into the military. Why was he back in town at the same time you were? He never had been before.

Grabbing the last thing your mom needed, you wait until he's preoccupied at the fridge to sneak over to the till, ignoring the odd look from the cashier—of course John's grabbing the same old drink he used to make you steal for him. You can still remember the taunting bark of his laughter when you would sniffle and sob after delivering the beverage, absolutely sure you were going to spend the night in a jail cell if they caught you.

Bastard.

Placing the change on the counter you nod and hastily take your leave, about ready to cry tears of joy once you've made it out the shop door.

It's hard to believe he still has that much of a grip on your psyche all these years later.

Heavy breath billows from your lips as you take the crumbling road back to your parent's place, plastic bag smacking against your hip with each step—always the errand runner around here.

Even if the entire world shifted on its axis, you'd still wager that this town would manage to stay as is.

Three more days until you could go home—your real home; the spot on earth you had carved out for yourself, miles away from this unfathomably deep pit. Your scratchy childhood sheets give you a new found sense of appreciation for the set you had bought for yourself shortly after moving out; soft and well-loved atop your real bed, awaiting your return.

A large hand clamps down on your shoulder.

"Christ! Almost missed ye!" John coughs out, panting from his mad dash to catch up to you.

"Me?" you sputter out, spinning towards the towering man as you calm your racing heart.

The new angle gives you a clear look at the angry scar healing on the side of his head.

He beams, pupils a little out of sorts as he drags you in under a thick bicep. His scent is distinctly more man than you recall and his arms remind you of the sturdy branches belonging to a tree; limbs bigger than the ones you remember reaching for you when he used to chase you around the woods—you had thought them impossibly large then... what were they feeding him in the military?

"O'course! Who else but ye? That f'yer Mum?" he asks, grabbing your bag and taking a brief, distracted peek.

You don't get a chance to reply as switches his attention, nudging his nose into the top of your head to practically inhale your hair. he rumbles happily. "Thought I'd ne'er see ye' again."

you forcefully dig your heels into the gravel and wiggle out of his grip.

"Why would you want to see me? Don't you hate me?" you spit, frowning as you snatch your bag back.

You watch confusion eat away at him for a second before his thin lips press into a frown that mirrors your own, dark lashes trembling a bit as he glares a hole through you.

"Hate ye? Ye think ah hate ye?"

You weren't going to do this—not with the boy that had gleefully isolated you from everyone in your age range during the most important social years of your early life.

"Yer daft!" he suddenly laughs, slipping back into his jovial grin. "-Gave me a fright there for a second!" he pulls you back into him with embarrassing ease and begins to walk again, knuckles grinding into your head before he grabs the bag from you, a satisfied chuckle leaving his lips. "Cannae believe ye thought ah hated ye—Had the biggest crush oan ye,"

No.

"-Thought ah was makin' it obvious!"

No—not this.

"Ah was a jealous wee git, detested ye hangin' out with yer pals. Likely made a right fool o'maself." he rubs at your arm with his large, bear-like palm and sighs contentedly. "No matter, Ah'm no a teenager anymore. How long ye in town for?"

you tug your gaze away from the tight-fitting grey hoodie straining pathetically over his muscles, letting it land on your shoes. he notices your reluctance and laughs, giving you a squeeze

"-God gave me a second chance, ahm no lettin' ye slip away—Full steam oan till we’re wed this time, alright?"

You can tell that language models are approaching human intelligence because they also can't understand version control

it's cliched to talk about how google -- or the web generally -- has gone downhill but I was searching for some trivial Python stuff as I don't use the language enough to remember the details and it was striking how the first dozen results for every query were these identical unfamiliar sites that "explained" basic topics in laborious (AI generated?) prose with banner ads interspersed between every paragraph, what a massive decline in user experience that is
