In my current repo I have the following output: $ git branch -a * master remotes/origin/master remotes/public/master I want to delete 'remotes/public/master' from the branch list: $ git branch -d remotes/public/master error: branch 'remotes/public/master' not found.

'git status' tells me # On branch master # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by X commits. If I modify a file, and then do another commit followed by a push, git tells me that my branch is ahe...
