Over at Emacs Redux, Bozhidar Batsov has a nice post on deleting Git branches. Batsov says that no one really knows how to do it and those who say they do are lying. That may be ever-so-slightly hyperbolic but probably captures a general truth.
The thing is, the operation is trivial with Magit. Those who are already Magit users probably don’t need any other reasons for using it but the operation is a striking example of how Magit makes using Git easier. It’s a small thing but it’s useful to know how to perform a commonly needed operation. See Batsov’s post for the details. It’s a short post and the process is pretty simple so click on over right now while you’re thinking about it.
