Deletes a ref via git update-ref -d

Removes the named ref after optionally verifying it still contains <oldvalue>. Follows symbolic refs by default unless no_deref: true is given.

Examples:

Delete a branch ref

cmd = Git::Commands::UpdateRef::Delete.new(execution_context)
cmd.call('refs/heads/old-branch')

Delete with old-value verification

cmd = Git::Commands::UpdateRef::Delete.new(execution_context)
cmd.call('refs/heads/old-branch', 'expected-sha')

Execute the git update-ref -d command

Parameters:

  • the ref to delete (e.g. refs/heads/old-branch)

  • (defaults to: nil)

    (nil) expected current value of the ref

Options Hash (**options):

  • :m (String) — default: nil —

    overwrite the ref itself rather than following symbolic refs

  • :timeout (Numeric) — default: nil —

    abort the command after this many seconds

Returns:

Raises:

  • if unsupported options are provided

  • if the ref operand is missing

  • if git exits with a non-zero exit status
