Git is a wonderful version control system. It’s light, nimble, and fast. It makes managing code amongst many developers a dream.
Unfortunately it has a fair share of quirks.
One of the quirkiest quirks that I’ve run into a couple times now is an issue with remote git branches.
When a remote git branch is deleted from the server your local repository doesn’t update its references.
The easy solution is to run this command:
<code>git remote prune origin</code>
This prunes and removes all remote branches that no longer exist.
