I want to free some space by deleting some unused branchers. Whan does mean these branches?

p.s. how to add "makefile" branch with "new build system" if I don't see it in "remotes/origin/"?

btw. you won't free much space by deleting branches - branches are just pointers to commits

Does `git gc` and `git prune` not delete unused commits?

that's the point - the commits are often still used when they were merged - just the branch pointer isn't there anymore.
