How to delete branch in github

Deleting a branch LOCALLY

git checkout main

Delete a branch with git branch -d <branch>.

For example: git branch -d fix/authentication

The -d option will delete the branch only if it has already been pushed and merged with the remote branch. Use -D instead if you want to force the branch to be deleted, even if it hasn't been pushed or merged yet.

The branch is now deleted locally.

Deleting a branch REMOTELY

Here’s the command to delete a branch remotely: git push <remote> --delete <branch>.

For example: git push origin --delete fix/authentication

The branch is now deleted remotely.
