GitLab delete branch example

In this 'GitLab delete branch' example we look at how to delete feature branches and protected branches in GitLab. This GitLab tutorial uses the web GUI to delete the branch, which is quite simple and straight forward. However, to synchronize the Git client requires a bit more work. So we show the Git delete commands required to prune the Git client and delete the remote GitLab tracking branch. We then remove the Git branch completely from the client so it is totally in sync with the GitLab server.
In the follow up Git tutorial we demonstrate how to do a remote GitLab branch delete, so look for that tutorial if you are interested in starting from the client and deleting the GitLab branch on the server.

Is the GitLab feature branch delete different from removing a regular GitLab branch?
