Only if the commit that branch points to is in another branch/tag. To delete it if it would be unreferenced: git branch -D my_branch > Q: OK. And how do I get rid of a distant branch? > A: git push origin :my_branch > Errr... That was true. But in newer versions of git: git push --delete my_branch BTW, if you ever wonder if a given commit is in a branch/tag, just do: git branch --contains commit-id git tag --contains commit-id So in the first question above, if git branch --contains my_branch only returned "my_branch" it would mean that the commit would be orphaned and git branch -d would exit with a warning and w/o doing anything.
