I know git branch -r shows all remote branches but I want to see only those that I created using git push.
It will be a bonus if someone could show how to delete only my remote branches safely.

There is no notion of branch author, but you canlist branches by:
- their last commit author
- their first commit (which is closer to what you are after), but... that assumes the branch was made from
master, and it hasn't been merged tomasteryet
In short, due to the nature of branches (a pointer to a commit, which can be overridden/deleted at any time), this is not 100% reliable.
See "How do I delete a Git branch locally and remotely?" for deleting a remote branch: you can push a branch deletion.
git push <remote_name> --delete <branch_name>
