after running

git fetch

I can see some branches which are not (anymore) on GitHub (using git branch -a). Why is this? How can I resolve this? It’s especially uncomfortable in git-cola, where I can see all these dead branches.

    If there are ‘dead’ branches that were deleted from another developer/machine, you need to prune your local version of the repository:

    git remote prune origin
