删除名为 origin/xyz 的本地分支而不删除 Git 中同名 xyz 的远程分支？

Question

I have 2 local branches named origin/QAD-1649 and QAD-1649 , and a remote branch with same name QAD-1649 . I want to delete the local branch named origin/QAD-1649 without deleting the remote branch so that I can continue working on the local branch QAD-1649 which should track remote branch origin/QAD-1649 .

The local branch QAD-1649 currently tracks some another branch origin/compare which is in forked main project repository. I am trying to update it to origin/QAD-1649 in my main project repository. How can I achieve this without losing my remote branch QAD-1649 ?

Answer 1

git branch -d only deletes local branches. So git branch -d origin/QAD-1649 .
