To answer your question about deleting a remote branch: branches are usually features, e.g. fixes, new features, etc. Once I've pushed to the remote and merged, the branch is no longer necessary. This is why someone would delete a remote branch.
- n4r9 6y agoThe article's point isn't that there's no reason to delete a remote branch, but that the concept of them is a conceptual leap that one doesn't naturally make until confronted with certain situations. Otherwise I agree with you; with my team I documented the standard feature/bugfix development process including the git steps, last of which is the lead engineer merging the branch and deleting it on the remote.
