I am new to Git and I seem to have one branch too many if I execute the following command:

warning: refname 'HEAD' is ambiguous.

I get the following output:

warning: refname 'HEAD' is ambiguous.
From github.com:dagda1/hornget
 * branch            master     -> FETCH_HEAD
warning: refname 'HEAD' is ambiguous.
warning: refname 'HEAD' is ambiguous.

If I execute git branch -a

I get the following:

HEAD
* master
remotes/emmekappa/master
remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
remotes/origin/master

I am confused by the remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master.

What is this and how can I get rid of the ambiguous branch.

I got to this stage by performing a merge where I think I added the ambiguous branch.

Also, this will delete the branch, if you just don't want it.

git branch -d HEAD

Use a capital -D to force the deletion:

git branch -D HEAD
