I'll have to add an answer here, because the other answers are either not covering my case or are needlessly complicated. How can I clean up the remote branches from computer B?

Git branch -a still lists origin/devel in the remote branches. The destination refspec neither matches an existing ref on the remote nor begins with refs/, and we are unable to guess a prefix based on the source ref.įatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Git push origin :heads/devel returns the following error messages.Įrror: unable to push to unqualified destination: heads/prox圓d

Running git fetch on computer B, I can remove the local devel branch with git branch -d devel, but I can't remove the remote devel branch. Running git branch -a on computer A, I get the following list of branches. Now while on computer A, I delete branch devel, on local and remote. Both are tracking their remote counterparts origin/master and origin/devel.

Let's say I have two branches, master and devel. I work from two different computers (A and B) and store a common git remote in the dropbox directory.
