## Working with branches
{: .-three-column}
### Creating
```bash
git checkout -b $branchname
git push origin $branchname --set-upstream
```
Creates a new branch locally then pushes it.
### Getting from remote
```bash
git fetch origin
git checkout --track origin/$branchname
```
Gets a branch in a remote.
### Delete local remote-tracking branches
```bash
git remote prune origin
```
Deletes `origin/*` branches in your local copy. Doesn't affect the remote.
### List merged branches
```bash
git branch -a --merged
```
List outdated branches that have been merged into the current one.
### Delete remote branch
```bash
git push origin :$branchname
```
Works for tags, too!
### Get current sha1
```bash
git show-ref HEAD -s
```
