Or kind of already well answered.

Feb 9 at 14:28 comment added cRAN I wanted to add a note that one cannot delete a branch on which one is currently working upon. I have made this rookie mistake so thought if this could help. :)

Nov 18 '20 at 23:06 comment added Gabriel Staples @Nathan, no, they're not wrong, but they don't teach what you don't know you don't know, whereas the one I link to makes this critical unknown unknown become a known unknown and then a known known. I didn't know you had a 1) local branch, 2) locally-stored remote-tracking branch, and 3) remote branch until I read that answer. Prior to that I thought there was only a local branch and remote branch. The locally-stored remote-tracking branch was an unknown unknown. Making it go from that to a known known is what makes that answer the best.

Apr 3 '20 at 20:37 comment added Gabriel Staples Skip the first few answers and just jump down to the best one: stackoverflow.com/a/23961231/4561887. To delete a git branch, there are actually 3 different branches to delete! This answer makes that fact clear.
