even i delete the related branch still showing that when I again create a pull request against developmednt branch
### 1. Check Your Git History
First, ensure that the commits from the pull request are indeed still in the branch's history. You can check this using:
git log
### 2. Remove the Commits
If the commits are still present and you want to remove them from the `development` branch, you have a couple of options:
#### Option A: Revert the Commits
If you want to keep the history but remove the changes introduced by the pull request, you can revert the commits. You need the commit hashes from the pull request:
git revert <commit_hash>
Repeat this for each commit you want to revert. This will create new commits that undo the changes.
#### Option B: Reset the Branch
If you want to completely remove the commits from the history (which will rewrite the commit history), you can reset the branch:
1. Checkout the `development` branch:
git checkout development
2. Use the `git reset` command to reset to a specific commit (you can use `HEAD~n` to go back n commits):
git reset --hard HEAD~n
Replace `n` with the number of commits you want to go back.
**Warning:** This will permanently delete the commits from your local history.
3. Force-push the changes to the remote repository:
git push origin development --force
### 3. Delete the Old Branch
If you've already deleted the branch associated with the pull request, make sure it's fully removed from both local and remote repositories:
– To delete a branch locally:
git branch -d <branch_name>
– To delete a branch from the remote:
git push origin --delete <branch_name>
### 4. Verify the Pull Request
After making the changes, verify that the pull request no longer includes the old commits by creating a new pull request against the `development` branch.
### Note
– Use caution when force-pushing changes, as it can disrupt other collaborators' work.
– Communicate with your team to ensure they are aware of the changes to avoid confusion.
