当使用git删除相应的本地分支时，如何自动删除远程跟踪分支

Question

The current setup:

$ git branch -a
* master
  feature
  remotes/origin/master
  remotes/origin/feature

After feature branch is merged, I would like to remove local branch feature and remote-tracking branch origin/feature . The remote branch on server is already removed in this case.

The commands I need is:

$ git branch -d features
$ git branch -d -r origin/features

Is there a way that the second command is automatically triggered when the corresponding local branch is removed? Any git-config settings?

Answer 1

If you set git config fetch.prune true , then the second command can be a simple git fetch .

That will prune any remote tracking branch origin/feature , since feature was already deleted on the server side.

Even if you don't use the config setting, a git fetch --prune would do the same.

In both cases, the advantage is that it will prune any remote tracking branch already deleted on the server (instead of just one branch).
