Thanks to the team for such hard work!

This is something I want to blog in order to save it for posterity so I don’t go crazy looking for this. I have a remote branch I committed but I need to remove it for whatever reason, how do I do this with git?

You do this in two easy steps:

1. Remove the local branch either through your favorite GUI or via: git branch -d “branch name”
2. Push the removed branch to the remote origin: git push origin :refs/heads/”branch name”

The key here is that you push a non-existent branch, so it basically removes it from the remote repository. That’s it!

I just wanted to take the moment to mention that starting today I am embarking on a 6 month personal leave of absence from ESRI to stay home and take care of our newborn Alexia and be able to concentrate on writing, training, professional open source and hopefully consulting.  It has been a great 4.5 years at ESRI and hopefully my time there is not done there entirely.  I had the privilege of working with some great minds and friends that I will truly miss bothering on a daily basis.  Thank you guys for so much support, understanding and love that you have provided to me and my family as we try to figure out where the Lord guides us in this journey of ours.

With that said, I am giving a sneek peek of what is to come as now I will be able to finish 4 books that are in the works and several new products I am working on that hopefully will place ColdFusion back on the map: BlogBox, PageBox, CodexWiki, ForumMan, ColdBox Messaging, Ortus DataBoss, ColdBox Remote and much more.  It is now time for ColdBox and ColdFusion to shine with great community applications based on a platform that is dear to my heart.  So for now, thanks again and Adios Amigos!

After so much hard work, ColdBox 3.0.0 RC2 is now released.  Check out our announcement!  WireBox release is also out and a few announcements are coming.
