A GitHub app built with Probot that automatically deletes a branch after it's merged.

Running it locally

  1. First, follow these instructions for making your own GitHub app. Give your app the following permissions:

    • Repository contents: Read & Write.
    • Pull requests: Read

  2. Then, clone the repo:

git clone git@github.com:uber-workflow/probot-app-delete-merged-branch.git

  1. Copy .env.example to .env and set the right environment variables as here

  2. Now, install app dependencies and run it:

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run the bot
npm start

How it works

This GitHub app listens to the pull_request.closed webhook. If a pull request is closed and the connected branch is merged, it will delete the branch.
