Deleting a locally created Branch

This will be handy when you accidentally misspelled a branch name.

This can be done in 3 ways

git branch -D <branch_name>

git branch --delete --force <branch_name>  # Same as -D

git branch --delete  <branch_name>         # Error on unmerge

-D stands for --delete --force which will delete the branch even it's not merged (force delete), but you can also use -d which stands for --delete which throws an error respective of the branch merge status...
