How do I delete my remote branch on GitHub.
First of all, you can use the command to view the origin

git remote -v

At this time, the display is as follows, my remote origin:

origin https://github.com/DevinY/dlaravel.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/DevinY/dlaravel.git (push)





Here you can see that origin represents the dlaravel repo on my github.

So, if I have a branch called dlarave-dev and I want to remove it,

You can use the following command:

git push --delete origin dlaravel-dev





Open the GitHub page to view it again, and you can see that my branch has been removed.

Yesterday's report of git alias

We can use git config --global alias.[alias] to "reduce the long and long git subcommands that are often executed" into simplified aliases. So you can also add your frequently used git commands to the global git alias through the git alias setting. Let's take a look at my practical example of how to reduce long subcommands into easy-to-use aliases.
