Is there a command to undo git-flow feature start?

Question

I'm inexperienced with git-flow.

Is there a command to undo git-flow feature start?

Always remember that Git flow commands are really just shortcuts for a series of regular Git commands. In the case of `feature start`, it's literally just switching to your development branch and starting a new branch. Understanding the commands that git-flow uses lets you very easily abandon the tool (which is pretty poor) and continue to use the workflow, which is much more valuable. — meager, Aug 02 '12 at 13:39

Since git-flow just wraps regular git functionality, how about simply deleting the new branch (assuming you have no changes in there you want saved)?

$ git checkout master
Switched to branch 'master'
$ git branch -d feature/your-feature-name-here

Or just use git-flow:

git flow feature delete your-feature-branch

Note that the feature/ prefix is omitted when using this command

My copy of Git-flow doesn't include 'delete' as an option for the 'git flow feature' command. – Isochronous Apr 11 '13 at 19:36

git hf feature cancel -f

Use git hf help and git hf feature help to see the possibilities.

`git hf` is actually a part of [HubFlow](http://datasift.github.io/gitflow/index.html), which is not a part of the standard git flow. – dohpaz42 Jul 24 '14 at 15:14

Neither is `git-flow` which the OP uses. – Nowaker Apr 05 '18 at 16:13
