So, a better wording would be to say that git fetch updates your locally-stored remote-tracking branches with the latest changes from their respective remote branches which they track.Īlso, this line was very helpful. So, some people may say local tracking branch and mean a locally-stored branch which tracks a remote branch, and that is a true and correct statement. This is because there is such a thing as local tracking branches if what you mean is a local (meaning: stored locally on your computer's hard drive) branch which is a tracking branch, meaning it tracks a remote branch. So, when you say there's no such concept of local tracking branches, only remote tracking branches, that's not quite true-it depends how you word it and what you mean, as that English is ambiguous. git fetch updates your locally-stored remote-tracking branches to contain the latest changes from their respective remote branches. I find this part ironic because it further causes confusion about branches and tracking branches and git fetch. But what does origin mean when used where one would expect the name of a branch git returns all the commits that ntd-dev has that origin does not have. the repo to which branches are pused if the push does not explicitly specify which repo to push to. So origin/master is a remote tracking branch for master in the origin repo I know that the word origin is used by git as the default alias for the remote repository, i.e. Depending on your Git provider, like Github or Bitbucket, you may have to enable branch deletion in the online. Deletes all branches with name starting with aputhen/.
#GIT DELETE BRANCH IN ORIGIN CODE#
To delete remote branches, run git push with the -d flag, which will cause the branch to be removed if you have access to do so. It would be great to see the elaboration on what the first line of code after '-d' does. There's no such concept of local tracking branches, only remote tracking branches. Deleting branches on the remote is easy as well. See "Having a hard time understanding git-fetch"
