Missing API for "Automatically delete head branches"

[yotamshapira]

Hi,

There is no REST API for the “Automatically delete head branches” setting.
I tried finding it here: Endpoints available for GitHub Apps - GitHub Docs

Thanks!

You can use the PATCH /repos/{owner}/{repo} endpoint (Update a repository). The delete_branch_on_merge parameter is what you are looking for.

Does that work for you?

Using gh api:

• patch

gh api -X PATCH /repos/{owner}/{repo} --raw-field 'delete_branch_on_merge=true' --silent

• get

gh api -X GET "repos/{owner}/{repo}" --jq '.delete_branch_on_merge';

it is returning true now.
