Thanks for any help in advance. You can delete oddly-named branches by passing the end-of-options marker to 'git branch', like so: $ git branch -D --end-of-options -D (In fact, '--end-of-options' isn't strictly necessary here, and using '--' as in 'git branch -D -- -D' will work as well). If you do find a reproducible way to create branches named '-D' or similar, please do let us know, as these are not intended to be valid branch names in general. Thanks, Taylor
