I have the following branches:

* master
newbranch
remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
remotes/origin/api-notes
remotes/origin/event-creation-validation
remotes/origin/master
remotes/origin/organizerlocation-bug-demo
remotes/origin/ticket-180

  1. Is the current branch master different from origin/master or are these branches working together?

  2. How can I detect the last changes in the different branches and how can I delete them to cleanup?

Thank you very much.

    1/ Is the current branch master different from origin/master or are these branches working together?

    It is different (even if it started from origin/master after the clone), and is not tracking origin/master (see “how do I change the remote a git branch is tracking?“).

    2/ how can I delete them to cleanup

    You can delete a branch from the remotes namespace with:

    git branch -rd origin/api-notes

    (More at “How do you Remove an Invalid Remote Branch Reference from Git?“)

    You can git diff or git log two branches to see the commits you don’t have:
    See “Git diff .. ? What’s the difference between having .. and no dots?“.
    See also “Git: Compare All Local Commits to Remote Repo Version“.
