Automatically delete merged branches

[kevgo]

What do you think about setting up delete merged branches bot to automatically delete feature branches once they are merged? This prevents building up old branches. This repo for example has a few old branches:

I think for the docs this could make sense, for other repos it's sometimes necessary to keep old branches around in case of e.g. diverging versions where some changes are merged into master.

Does this delete only branches that are merged into master, or generally merged branches? If it's the latter I wouldn't want to install that as that might mess with stuff (especially when using e.g. squash merge)

Right now the only configuration is a blacklist of branches that should never get deleted. I have never run into issues with this but don't know your setup and workflows, and don't want to mess anything up. So, sounds like a no-go for now. I'll close this ticket. Thanks!
