How to delete a local branch in git?

Issue

I want to delete a local branch in Git but this failed:

git branch -d <branch_name>

Solution

If you edit your branch & want to delete it without merging it to your master branch, you have to force delete it with the option -D instead of -d.

git branch -D <branch_name>
