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

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 [e-mail]:SvanBoxel/delete-merged-branch.git

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

4. 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.

Release process

CI (Travis) is in charge of releasing new versions of the GitHub Application to Now. On every new commit to master we run sementic-release to determine whether the major/minor/patch version should be incremented. If so, we update the version running in production.
