So I was trying to create an orphan branch. I tried a couple of things and one of them ( git checkout -b --orphan newbranch
) managed to create a branch called "--orphan"; now it won't let me delete it using git branch -d --orphan
. I've also tried using quotes and escape characters. Nothing seems to work. I also tried using gitg to delete and to rename the branch; this didn't work.
How can I delete this branch?
git branch -d -- --orphan
Everything after --
is taken as an argument and not a switch. This works in many places in git (and in many other Unix programs).
