1.- In this example, we are inside stable branch because we are going to delete staging branch. You should be inside a branch different that the branch you are going to delete. Use git checkout <branch's_name> command to move you between branches.
git checkout stable
2.- See all branches with git branch command.
git branch
3.- Delete the branch with git branch -d <branch's_name_to_delete> command.
git branch -d staging
