easy📝 Syntax Q12 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Review valid commands for deleting remote branches
The modern and clear syntax isgit push origin --delete branch-name.Step 2: Check each option
git push origin :bugfix uses an older syntax but is valid; however, the question asks for the recommended modern syntax, which is the explicit--deleteflag. git push origin --remove bugfix uses a non-existent flag--remove. git branch -r -d bugfix deletes local remote-tracking branches, not remote branches.Final Answer:
git push origin --delete bugfix -> Option DQuick Check:
Correct syntax = git push origin --delete branch [OK]
Quick Trick: Use '--delete' flag with 'git push origin' to delete remote branch [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Using '--remove' instead of '--delete'
- Confusing local branch deletion with remote
- Using 'git branch -r -d' which only deletes local remote-tracking branches
- Not specifying the remote name 'origin'
