Git view, delete, rename remote branch and tag

• 2015-06-15: Join the sister chapter;
• 2013-11-06: Add the contents of renaming the remote branch;
• 2013-01-09: Added content to delete remote tag.

Sister article: Using Git, git gui, and Tortoisegit

This article records the contents of the remote branch and tag I encountered while using Git, outlining:

1. viewing remote branches
2. Delete Remote Branch and tag
3. Delete local branch that does not exist for the corresponding remote branch
4. Renaming a remote branch
5. Push local tag to remote
6. Get remote Tag

viewing remote branches

With the-a parameter to see the remote branch, the remote branch is shown in red (if you have color support):

$ git branch-a  Master  remote  tungway  v1.52* zrong  remotes/origin/master  remotes/origin/ Tungway  remotes/origin/v1.52  Remotes/origin/zrong

Delete Remote Branch and tag

After Git v1.7.0, you can use this syntax to delete a remote branch:

$ GIT push origin--delete <branchName>

Delete tag so used:

Git push origin--delete tag <tagname>

Otherwise, you can use this syntax to push an empty branch to a remote branch, which is actually equivalent to deleting the remote branch:

Git push Origin:<branchname>

This is the way to remove the tag, push an empty tag to the remote tag:

git tag-d <tagname>git push origin:refs/tags/<tagname>

The two grammars work exactly the same way.

Delete local branch that does not exist for the corresponding remote branch

Suppose such a situation:

1. I created the local branch B1 and pull to the remote branch origin/b1 ;
2. Others use fetch or pull locally to create a local B1 branch;
3. I deleted the origin/b1 remote branch;
4. Other people do fetch or pull again does not delete this their local b1 branch, run git branch -a also cannot see this branch was deleted, how to deal with?

Use the following code to view the status of B1:

$ git remote show origin* remote origin  Fetch URL: [email protected]:xxx/xxx.git  Push  URL: [Email protected]: Xxx/xxx.git  HEAD branch:master  remote branches:    Master                 tracked    ' git remote prune ' to Remove) (up to  date)   

At this point you can see that B1 is stale and git remote prune origin can be removed from the local repository using the.

A simpler approach is to use this command, which deletes the local branch that does not correspond to the remote branch after the fetch:

Git fetch-p

Renaming a remote branch

Renaming a remote branch in git is essentially deleting the remote branch, renaming the local branch, and then resubmitting the remote branch.

For example, in the following example, I need to rename the Devel branch to the develop branch:

$ git branch-av* devel                             #158 from Gwill/devel  master                            #138 from Tdlrobin/master  zrong                              Export Getfiledata  remotes/origin/head-               origin/master  remotes/origin/add_build_script   ' master ' into Add_build_script  remotes/origin/devel              export getfiledata    

To delete a remote branch:

[Deleted]         devel

To rename a local branch:

git branch-m devel Develop

To push a local branch:

(48/48 (58/58 (Delta5[New branch] Develop, develop   

However, when I was working on GitHub, I encountered this error while deleting the remote branch:

[Remote rejected (deletion of the currentbranch prohibited' [email protected]:zrong/quick-cocos2d-x.git ' 

This is because in GitHub, Devel is the default branch of the project. To resolve this issue, do this:

1. Go to GitHub on the Settings page of the project;
2. Set the default Branch to another branch (for example, master);
3. Re-executes the Delete remote branch command.

Push local tag to remote

git push--tags

Get remote Tag

Git fetch origin tag <tagname>
