   Thank you for your tip. I was trying to do something like:

   git branch -d origin/membership_processing

   But it didn’t work. Your tip worked perfectly!

   Hi, Yuji.
   Can you describe fully what happens on ‘git push origin :membership_processing’
   Case.. as i know.. git push will update project on your remote repo with your commit(-s).
   Thanks in advance.

   It’s a shortcut for

   git push origin –delete BRANCH_NAME
