Hi,

I added a remote called PCM to my repository. So when I do a $git branch -a

It shows me all the branches of the remote. I decided I don't want the remote anymore, so I deleted it from my .git/config file and did $git remote update

The first command verified that PCM is not a remote anymore, but still when I do a $git branch -a, I see all the branches of PCM.

How do I get rid of it?
Thanks

Re: Deleting remote branches

You probably should have used git remote rm PCM which will maintain the consistency between .git/config and .git/refs/remotes

Probably easiest thing to do would be to add a remote called PCM back, then remove it with git remote rm PCM.
