git fetch --prune
A very handy git command is git fetch --prune.
For example, there were quite a few branches that had been deleted from remote, and also on local, but which still showed up when I tab-completed on my local:
$ git checkout BE_
BE_api_documentation_FEATURE_1mrttw BE_routes_controllers_FIX_1mweqd
BE_collection_csv_FEATURE_1mrtux BE_rswag_FIX_1mwvhk
BE_email_messages_FEATURE_1mrtuu BE_rubocop_FIX_1mvrf0
BE_haikunator_FEATURE_1mumnd BE_sanity_check_FIX_1mw7h0
BE_haikunator_FIX_1mwm8v BE_scope_teams_users_FEATURE_1mwvhq
So I ran this command:
$ git fetch --prune
From github.com:chameleoncreator/chameleon_feedback
- [deleted] (none) -> origin/BE_api_documentation_FEATURE_1mrttw
- [deleted] (none) -> origin/BE_collection_csv_FEATURE_1mrtux
- [deleted] (none) -> origin/BE_haikunator_FEATURE_1mumnd

- [deleted] (none) -> origin/make_deployment_happen_with_dev-FEATURE-1mwpye
- [deleted] (none) -> origin/quick-brand-update-FEATURE-1mwfft
And now when I tab-complete a git checkout:
$ git checkout BE_
BE_email_messages_FEATURE_1mrtuu BE_scope_teams_users_FEATURE_1mwvhq
BE_rswag_FIX_1mwvhk
