Git Delete Branches kodekloud

Question : Nautilus developers are actively working on one of the project repositories, /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/games. They were doing some testing and created few test branches, now they want to clean those test branches. Below are the requirements that have been shared with the DevOps team:

On Storage server in Stratos DC delete a branch named xfusioncorp_apps from /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/apps git repo. 

Solution:  

1. At first login on to the storage server  & switch to the root user

thor@jump_host /$ ssh natasha@ststor01 The authenticity of host 'ststor01 (172.16.238.15)' can't be established. ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:IxwAD3ZVWxJeoVZGlhqWNAp/2Waue9JvaV7Hz6hyyfg. ECDSA key fingerprint is MD5:87:7c:77:5f:04:db:fa:a3:35:82:e6:d9:d4:f0:1c:35. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'ststor01,172.16.238.15' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts. natasha@ststor01's password: [natasha@ststor01 ~]$ sudo su -  We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:      #1) Respect the privacy of others.     #2) Think before you type.     #3) With great power comes great responsibility.  [sudo] password for natasha: [root@ststor01 ~]#

2. Go to the Git repo folder path & check git status 

[root@ststor01 ~]# cd /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/apps [root@ststor01 apps]# [root@ststor01 apps]#  git status On branch xfusioncorp_apps nothing to commit, working tree clean [root@ststor01 apps]#

3. Check existing branches and which one is default before deleting 

[root@ststor01 apps]# git branch -a   master * xfusioncorp_apps   remotes/origin/master [root@ststor01 apps]#

4. Checkout to any other branch or master to change default branch

[root@ststor01 apps]# git checkout master Switched to branch 'master' Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'. [root@ststor01 apps]#

5. Delete the branch as per your task

[root@ststor01 apps]# git branch --delete xfusioncorp_apps Deleted branch xfusioncorp_apps (was d5bdc01). [root@ststor01 apps]#

6. Verify the branches 

[root@ststor01 apps]# git branch -a * master   remotes/origin/master [root@ststor01 apps]#
