Delete multiple branches GitHub Action

An action that deletes multiple branches from repository. Optionally one can provide a prefix or suffix strings that would be appended or prepended to every branch name. If it is needed to specify which owner and repository the branches are located in, then the owner and repository can be provided as well. If setting the soft_fail flag to true a warning will be written to the console, and the action will continue, instead of the action failing. The default is false.

Usage

Do not specify numbers and branches together when prefix or suffix are set.
