A way to delete remote branches #183741

Open manuelpoelzl opened 1 year ago

It would be good if VSCode would provide a way to delete remote branches, e.g. after a merge, or in general when a local branch is deleted.

I used JetBrains WebStorm for a long time and there this was solved quite well, whenever I merged a local branch, I got a small popup asking me if I also want to delete the origin branch.

I think such a feature would also be very good for VSCode, since it is quite tedious in the long run to always clean up the branches in GitHub or AzureDevOps.

There is an extension pavlelee.git-branch-delete-kit for this while we are waiting for the PR #199113 to be merged.
