Just to be clear the local master branch was also renamed to SkybuckMaster.
But origin/master still shows up ? Kinda strange ? Any explanation why this is and if it can be completely removed ? (Maybe destroying old commits might allow to do that, but if it's possible to do without destroying old commits that would be better ofcourse ;)) I also tried git fetch --prune But that did not help. git branch -r still shows origin/master to be present ? pushing or delete origin/master like so will give an error message kinda proving it's already gone ? git push origin --delete master error: unable to delete 'master': remote ref does not exist git push origin --delete origin/master error: unable to delete 'origin/master': remote ref does not exist git fetch origin git branch -r origin/master still shows up in bottom ?! Weird or what ?! =D Bye, Skybuck.
