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?
