Review stale code branch cleanup
Reviews & approvals · Example outcome
The handoff
A private authorized code repositories, branch activity dates, and proposed archive or deletion candidates review draft with source checks, uncertainty notes, and human approval status.
Keep in mind
A branch can contain unmerged work or be intentionally dormant, and deletion can be difficult to reverse. Confirm repository scope, check open reviews and protected-branch rules, preserve a recoverable reference, restrict notification details, and require the code owner to approve each archive or deletion.
