You want to delete multiple remote branches named feature1, feature2, and feature3 in one command using the --delete flag. Which of the following is the correct way to do this?
Git does not support deleting multiple remote branches in one command by listing them after --delete. You must run separate commands or use multiple --delete flags.
Step 2: Evaluate options
git push origin --delete feature1 feature2 feature3 is invalid syntax and will cause an error. git push origin --delete feature1 && git push origin --delete feature2 && git push origin --delete feature3 runs multiple commands separately, which works correctly. git push origin :feature1 :feature2 :feature3 uses old syntax without the --delete flag and may not be recommended. git branch -r -d feature1 feature2 feature3 deletes local remote-tracking branches, not remote branches.
