From the git push manpage:\n\ngit push origin :experimental\n ^\n Find a ref that matches experimental in the origin repository (e.g.\n refs/heads/experimental), and delete it.\n\n\nThe syntax (with all the unused stuff removed) is 'git push '\nIf you don't supply any repository (as you did with your cmdline), the default \nremote repository is used. Your command tried to push the local branch 'origin' into\nthe remote branch 'test' of your default remote repository. Correct would be\n\ngit push :test # or git push origin :test\n\nThe refspec :test means push empy/nothingness into the branch 'test', which will delete it.\n\n--\nPeter\n"},{"id":"137832","messageId":"4BAC5DD1.7050500@viscovery.net","threadId":"23181","inReplyTo":"1269582415273-4802262.post@n2.nabble.com","subject":"Re: Deleting remote branches","fromName":"Johannes Sixt","fromEmail":"j.sixt@viscovery.net","sentAt":"2010-03-26T07:10:09Z","receivedAt":"2010-03-26T07:10:09Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"j6t@kdbg.org","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/14810926?v=4"},"body":"Am 3/26/2010 6:46, schrieb jhapk:\n> I had a whole bunch of branches in my local and a remote repository.
