Question

How do I delete a Git remote branch?

I work with NetBeans, and I tried to delete a remote branch from IDE, but on the delete branch it deleted only locally.

Maybe it is not possible to do it in your NetBeans version: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209644 — Pigueiras, Sep 18 '13 at 08:51
