git - 删除远程分支有效，本地修剪无效。为什么？

Question

在我的设置中，这似乎可以删除远程分支：

git push origin :foo

因为当我第一次这样做时，它成功了，但第二次失败了，因为它说远程分支不存在（如预期的那样）。到目前为止，一切都很好。

这不起作用：

git remote prune origin

它返回时没有输出，并且我所有已删除遥控器的本地跟踪分支仍然存在。

By "local tracking branches", do you mean branches you created to track remote branches? git remote prune won't delete those. It'll only delete the remote branches (i.e., it'll delete origin/foo, but not my-local-foo that tracked origin/foo).

You can confirm that origin/foo was deleted by checking the output of

$ git branch -r
