How to Delete a git Remote Branch
Keeping a tidy repository is important; not just a tidy codebase, but a tidy repository in as far as not having spare branches rotting around. Generally the main repository doesn't keep multiple branches but sometimes you need to push to a main repository simply to get Travis CI to run tests. Once a branch is merged, for example, we no longer need it around.
Deleting a branch on a local host machine repo is easy:
git branch -d <branch_name>
To remove a branch from the remote git repository, like a GitHub-hosted repository, you can execute:
git push <remote_name> --delete <branch_name>

![Facebook-Style Modal Box Using MooTools]()
In my oh-so-humble opinion, Facebook's Modal box is the best modal box around. It's lightweight, subtle, and very stylish. I've taken Facebook's imagery and CSS and combined it with MooTools' awesome functionality to duplicate the effect.
The Imagery
Facebook uses a funky sprite for their modal...
