Delete checked out PR branches #25

Closed msfjarvis closed 2 years ago

msfjarvis commented 2 years ago

Description When a PR branch is currently checked out, gh-poi will not delete the branch. A way to fix this would be to checkout the default branch and then delete the branch.

Additional context

hub-sync implemented this same functionality and the way I described above is how this tool dealt with the problem.

Thanks for the suggestion 😄 Being able to delete merged branches even if they are checked out seems like a good idea as it will make development smoother. I'll refer to hub-sync and see if there are any issues.

Here's what I'm thinking:

If the local branch contains uncommitted changes, don't delete the current branch. (simple implementation first)
If a checked-out branch is already merged and can be deleted, delete it after the default branch is checked out.
If the --check option is enabled, the checkout is not actually executed.

Sounds good 👍🏼
