Audit: Delete branch on merge¶
What we check¶
All active repositories should have "Automatically delete head branches" enabled (Settings > General > Pull Requests), so that a pull request's source branch is deleted automatically when the PR merges. This keeps repositories free of stale merged branches.
The check queries the delete_branch_on_merge repository setting
via the GitHub API. Note that the API only exposes this setting to
tokens with push access to the repository.
Template¶
No template -- this is a one-time configuration change.
To enable via the CLI:
Or in the GitHub UI: Settings > General > Pull Requests > check "Automatically delete head branches".
