Remove branches for remote that no longer exists
When I run the command git branch -a I see a list of branches associated with a remote that no longer exists. ex:
remotes/does-not-exist/branch1
remotes/does-not-exist/branch2
remotes/origin/dev
remotes/origin/feature3
I want to remove the branches associated with does-not-exist from the list above. However if I run the command git remote prune does-not-exist I get the following error
conq: repository does not exist.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
How can I remove the branches associated with does-not-exist ? Should I just delete the folder under .git/refs/remotes/ ?
To delete remote branches, I run git push origin --delete <branch> . So in your case, you may run the following:
git push does-not-exist --delete branch1
git push does-not-exist --delete branch2
I hope this helps.
You should remove the remote, not branches. By this the branches will be deleted too. git remote remove does-not-exist .
