How to delete branch?

[staticdev]

Is it possible to delete a branch by it's name? I did not see that on the docs: https://pygithub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/github_objects/Branch.html

I also did not find a way to delete it while merging a PR and there is an open issue from 2017.

I also need this feature.

@CircleOnCircles it is already implemented. You can have an example usage in the tool I am building to manage multiple projects here: https://github.com/staticdev/git-portfolio

here is the example sniptlet if you want to do it using pygithub

g = Github("[ACCESS TOKEN]")
repo = g.get_repo('COVID19-TCDG/datasets')
for b in repo.get_branches():
    if b.name.startswith('create-pull-request/patch'):
        repo.get_git_ref(f"heads/{b.name}").delete()
