if I have many remote branches merge into branch DEV, how do I list all remote branches merged into DEV and how to delete these remote branches.

git branch -r --merged <commit>

this command shows all remote branches are reachable from the specified commit.

but i don't know how to delete it. Please guide.

you can use git branch -d branchname if the branch is merged.

if the branch is not merged, you can use git branch -D branchname to delete the specific branch.
