git remote prune origin

最近在开发的时候偶然发现，同事在本地使用git branch -a会看到我已经删除的远程分支，git fetch之后依然能看到，然后同事就来询问我为什么不清理掉那些久远的分支，然而我确实是执行了git push origin --delete branchName删除每个版本后不用的分支。当时感觉非常奇怪，然后又发现，我在本地也能看到同事已经删除的远程分支。当时我就蒙蔽了，非常蒙蔽。后来查找资料才知道，我们需要使用git remote prune origin。

先调用git remote show origin

该命令能够获取远端分支信息，你可以看到和本地和远端不同步的地方：

$ git remote show origin

* 远程 origin
  获取地址：http://openapi2.0.git
  推送地址：http://openapi2.0.git
  HEAD分支：master
  远程分支：
    beta                         已跟踪
    develop                      已跟踪
    master                       已跟踪
    refs/remotes/origin/communal 过时（使用 'git remote prune' 来移除）
    refs/remotes/origin/lt-v1    过时（使用 'git remote prune' 来移除）
    release/1.0                  已跟踪
  为 'git pull' 配置的本地分支：
    beta    与远程 beta 合并
    develop 与远程 develop 合并
    master  与远程 master 合并
  为 'git push' 配置的本地引用：
    beta    推送至 beta    (最新)
    develop 推送至 develop (本地已过时)
    master  推送至 master  (本地已过时)

过时的就是和本地不同步的分支，本地已过时的表示你需要移除这个分支了。

这个时候你需要调用

git remote prune origin

同步远程的分支到本地，这样远程已经被删除的分支，本地就不会再看见了。
