如何使用EGIT删除远程存储库中的分支？

Question

如何使用egit删除sourceforge中的远程分支本身及其中的所有文件？

Answer 1

Go to Team > Remote > Push… from the menu. Select your repository, and click Next . Under Remote ref to delete… select your branch and click Add spec . Then click Finish . This should delete the remote branch.

Answer 2

(Update March 2012)

As tukushan mentions in the comment:

In Egit 1.3.0, this only deletes the remote tracking branch in the local repository, not the remote branch.

As Michael Mior details in his (upvoted) answer , you need to push "nothing" to the remote branch : git push origin :branch , which from git1.7+ is better coded as git push origin --delete branch .

With Egit, see " Delete Ref Specifications section ":

You can also check out the very latest release of EGit (1.2, released yesterday December 23rd, 2011). You now have another way to delete a remote

From its EGit/New and Noteworthy/1.2 :

In the commit graph area, there is a new context menu action " Delete Branch " allowing to delete a branch.
It will be enabled if a branch exists for the currently selected commit, which is not checked out.
If there is a single branch on this commit, which is not checked out, this action will delete this branch immediately.
If multiple such branches exist, a dialog will be shown asking which branches should be deleted.
If commits become unreachable on "Delete Branch" a confirmation dialog will be shown to prevent accidental unreachability of commits.

It remains to be tested if that option can delete a branch for a commit on a remote namespace (a commit part of a remote repo and fetched in your local repo).
