I have deleted branches on github and did git fetch locally.

git branch -a still lists remote branches.

  • do I have to remove local remote branches manually anyway?
  • is there a way to do an automatic cleanup of local remote branches (if something is not present on github then remove local remote branch)?

    Run git fetch --prune (or git fetch origin --prune or git remote update origin --prune or any of a number of similar varieties of command, all using -p or --prune). Commented Mar 15, 2016 at 7:39
  • I use an alias called "refresh-remote-branches": git config --global alias.refresh-remote-branches "remote update origin --prune" Commented Mar 15, 2016 at 16:31

Use git fetch origin --prune. This will remove remote tracking branches that no longer exist in the remote repository.
